    Around 11:15 am

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let h represents the number of hours the plumber works

    Since the plumber charges $65 fee plus $75 per hour, the bill can be calculated by:

    → bill = 65 + 75h

    Since the bill is $195.25

    → 195.25 = 65 + 75h

    → 75h = 130.25

    → h = 1.74

    1.74 implies that the plumber worked almost 1 hour and 45 minutes. Since the plumber started at 9:30, the repair was completed around 11:15 am.
