Nathan Copeland · Answer 1

Since the cost of labor is $50 for each hour or fraction of an hour the 3.45 hours of labor becomes 4 hours because the 45 minutes is a fraction of an hour and that is $50 too.

Next you multiply $50 times 4 hours of labor and that is $200.

Then you add the additional cost for the fluids to be checked which is $25.

$200 plus 25 equals $225
