Answer: The total cost of repair was $189.96
Step-by-step explanation: If the wheel bearings cost 66 dollars and sales tax was 6%, then the sales tax computation would be as follows;
Sales tax = 66 x 0.06
Sales tax = 3.96
This brings the total cost of purchasing the wheel bearings to
Total cost = Actual cost + sales tax
Total cost = 66 + 3.96
Total cost = 69.96
Also the labor charge is 60 dollars an hour, and it takes 2 hours to repair, that means Erika is spending 60 x 2 which is 120 dollars for the labor charge.
Therefore the total amount spent in the car repairs is as follows;
Cost of bearing + Labor charge = Total spent
69.96 + 120 = Total spent
189.96 = Total spent
The total amount spent in repairing the car was $189.96
