Calculate the total licensing fee for a new Tier 3 contractor application in SC (application fee $200, license fee $300, examination fee $75):
Correct Answer
C) $575
Total fees = $200 (application) + $300 (license) + $75 (examination) = $575
Why This Is the Correct Answer
$200 (application) + $300 (license) + $75 (examination) = $575. All three fee components are required for a new application and must be totaled.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $625
$625 results from adding an extra $50 that is not listed in the question, or from misreading one of the fee amounts.
Option B: $475
$475 results from omitting the examination fee ($200 + $300 - $25 error, or $200 + $275). This is a common addition error.
Option D: $500
$500 results from adding only two of the three fees, likely $200 + $300 and forgetting the $75 examination fee.
Memory Technique
Three fees, three items: App + License + Exam = A + L + E. Count all three components before adding. $200 + $300 = $500, then add $75 → $575.
