This document discusses maintaining a vehicle. It explains that when purchasing a used vehicle, owners should consider the additional repair and maintenance costs compared to a new vehicle. When a vehicle needs service or repairs, the total bill is calculated based on parts costs, labor costs, and applicable taxes. An example problem is provided where Jane takes her car in for an oil change, oil filter replacement, and new wiper blades. The costs of parts and labor are listed, and the question asks how much Jane will have to pay for the work. Students are assigned questions 1 through 5 from pages 152 to 153 of their textbook.
