1 hour= $3
3 times the number of hours

Ex: 5 hours= 3 times 5 = $15
-----------------------------------------
Find hour rate for 7 hours:
-----------------------------------------
Hourly charge  = $3
Hourly charges for 7 hours = 3 x 7 = $21

-----------------------------------------
Find fixed charge :
-----------------------------------------
$33-21 = $12
There is a $12 fixed rental charge.
