What is the total cost if Frankie wants a tattoo that takes 5 hours and costs $85 an hour for the first three hours and half price for the remaining time?

To calculate the total cost of the tattoo that Frankie wants, we first need to break down the hours and the corresponding costs.

For the first three hours, the cost is $85 per hour. Therefore, for these three hours, the total cost would be:

3 hours × $85/hour = $255.

Frankie wants the tattoo for a total of 5 hours, which means there are 2 additional hours at half price. The half price of $85 is $42.50 per hour. Thus, for the remaining 2 hours, the cost would be:

2 hours × $42.50/hour = $85.

Now, we can add the costs from both segments together. The total cost for the tattoo is:

$255 (for the first three hours) + $85 (for the remaining two hours) = $340.

Thus, the correct answer reflects the total cost that Frankie would incur for the tattoo based on the specified hourly rates.
