First time typing = $5 per page
Revised page typing = $3 per page
For a 100 page manuscript
For typing all the 100 pages for the first time = $5 * 100 = $500
For revising 40 pages at once = $3 * 40 = $120
For revising 10 pages twice = 2 ($3 * 10) = $60
Total cost of having the manuscript typed = $500 + $120 + $60 = $680
