Fixed Charge FC = $50
$12 per hour.

Let number of hours = n
Total Charge TC =  50 + 12n
For a total charge of $115.

50 + 12n = 115
12n =  115 - 50
12n  = 65
n = 65/12
n =  (65/12) hours.

Number of minutes = (65/12) * 60,    since 1 hour = 60 minutes
                              = 65*5 =     325 minutes

Option C.
