Explanation / Answer

As you can see from the case shown this is a copy request from attorney so copies should not be free (1st Condition)

The request is not from a patient so first 10 pages are not free too (2nd case)

As the page number is 634 its more than 75 so the rate applicable is $0.5 per page . The Certification and retrieval fees are one time fees which is added taking into account quantity as one .Microfilm per page is given $1 so for 634 pages it is $634.

The above table solves your problem I think
