Answer: The total charge is 3745

Step-by-step explanation: First you want to add how much the the 20% charge is. You multiply 3100 by .20 to find that amount. You then add that amount to 3100 and then add 25 for the fee
20/100=x/3100
62000=100x
620=x

But remember you need to add the flat $25 application fee as well. So the total charge would be $645.
