Total charges can be obtained from the above table by multiplying the number of cases by the relevant average charge. Performing these calculations with the figures in the above table yields total charges, for Philadelphia, of approximately $40 million. (Because aberrant charges were eliminated before the figures in this table were calculated, this $40 million figure is an adjusted figure. The unadjusted figure for total charges is over $46 million.)
