the total?
$95 per hour for loading/unloading service
$80 per hour for packing/unpacking service
$5 per mile for truck rental

Answer 1

Total moving cost is $2176.875 including tax.

Explanation:

Cost for loading/unloading service= $95 per hour

Total cost for loading/unloading services = 95 x 6

= $750

Cost for packing/unpacking service= $80 per hour

Total cost for packing/unpacking= 80 x 5

= $400

Trunk rent = $5 per mile

Total distance= 175miles

Total rent = 175 x 5

= $875

Total cost = 750 + 400 + 875

= $2025

Tax = 2025 x (7.5/100)

Tax = $151.875

Total cost including tax = 2025 + 151.875

= $2176.875

Total moving cost is $2176.875 including tax.
