Total bill = $110
\n" ); document.write( "Fixed charge = $35 (charged just for driving to your house)
\n" ); document.write( "Then, what was charged for the hours worked is
\n" ); document.write( "$110 - $35 = $75 .
\n" ); document.write( "If those $75 were the charge for 3 hours of work,
\n" ); document.write( "then what the plumber charges for each hour of work is
\n" ); document.write( "\"%22%2475%22%2F3=%22%2425%22\"
\n" ); document.write( "The plumber's hourly rate is \"highlight%28%22%2425%22%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
