per hour plus a $45.00 service charge.
Your father's firm hires him to hook up his company's phone system.
Find the total charges if it takes the telephone technician 6.5 hours to complete the task

1 answer

To find the total charges, we need to calculate the cost of the technician's time and the service charge.

The cost of the technician's time is $30.00 per hour for 6.5 hours, which is 30 * 6.5 = $<<30*6.5=195>>195.

The service charge is $45.00.

Therefore, the total charges are $195 + $45 = $<<195+45=240>>240. Answer: \boxed{240}.
