Respuesta :

We will have the following:

We will calculate the total charge as follows:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=75x+100+0.0825(75x+100) \\ \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{1299}{16}x+108.25 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the total charge will be:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1299}{16}(3)+108.25\Rightarrow y=\frac{5629}{16} \\ \\ \Rightarrow y\approx352 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the total charge is approximately $352.
