Given:

22.50 per hour of labor

0.50 per mile for travel to and from home

cost of materials plus 5%

last job:

35 miles from home, 4.5 hours, parts cost 350. invoice = 468.75

35 miles x 2 = 70 miles

70 miles x 0.50 = 35

4.5 hours x 22.50 = 101.25

350 x 1.05 = 367.50

Total: 35 + 101.25 + 367.50 = 503.75 this should be the amount in the invoice.

503.75 - 468.75 = 35 shortage from invoice.
