To calculate the total cost of having Jose as a DJ for 3 hours, you would first add the setup fee of $50 to the cost of the hours. Then, you would multiply the hourly rate of$ 8 by the number of hours (3). Finally, add the setup fee to the cost of the hours to get the total cost.

Total cost = Setup fee + (Hourly rate * Number of hours) Total cost = $50 + ($ 8/hour * 3 hours) Total cost = $50 + ($ 24) Total cost = $74

So, it would cost $74 to have Jose as a DJ for 3 hours.
