SUMMARY

The call out charge for services is definitively established as 50 euros, while the hourly rate is set at 30 euros. This conclusion is derived from solving the equations 3F + C = 140 and 4F + C = 170, where F represents the hourly rate and C the call out fee. The method employed by @Math_QED, utilizing a system of equations, is confirmed as the most effective approach for solving such problems.

Call the fixed fee per hour F and the call out fee C. Then you are given that

3F + C = 140, 4F + C = 170

From this we find F = 30, C = 50.

This seems to match with your answer (if I interpret correctly what you mean), so you are correct.
 
@Rubies, since you didn't show any of your work, it appears that you are trying to answer the question by guessing, which isn't a good strategy. The approach shown by @Math_QED, which uses a system of equations, is a much better way to work on these kinds of problems.
