Let h be the numbers of hours, f be the one-time fee and c the cost charged. The equation is
Since you pay $15 per four, plus the fee. We can solve this equation for the fee:
If we plug c=195 and h=9, we have
One way you could solve this is to just multiply the top and bottom out so that you get 9/81, reducing it by 9/9 to get 1/9 or option C.
Another way would be to do
since dividing numbers with exponents would be subtracting the bottom exponent from the top exponent, provided that the base number (in this case 3) is the same for both. For this method, you would get 
, which is equal to 1/9 or .1 repeating, the same answer that you'd get with the first method.
