Find ty’s car repair expenses. his car needs a new serpentine belt and front brake rotors. the parts will cost $188.26 at the dealer. the repairs will require 2 hours of labor at $82 per hour. there will be 6% sales tax on the serpentine belt and the brake rotors.

Okay. So the parts cost $188.26, and it will require 2 hours to install, with the hourly rate being $82. First, let's start with multiplying the hourly rate and the amount of hours. 82 * 2 is 164. So as we see, there will be tax on the serpentine belt and break rotors, not on the repair. So let's find the amount after tax on the parts by multiplying the amount for the parts by the amount of tax. Let's multiply by 106% (1.06) instead of 6% (0.06) to get the price after tax. 188.26 * 1.06 is 199.5556 or 199.56 when rounded to the nearest hundredth. So the parts will be a total of $199.56. We're not done, though. Now we have to add the $164 to that price to get us the total amount. 199.56 + 164 is 363.56. There. Ty's total car repair expenses is $363.56.
