In this case you should multiply the hourly rate ($/hours) by the number of hours of the service that was used, in this case 3 hours.  Then multiply by the tip percentage (.20).

Does that make sense to  you?

In other words, $70 * 3hours = $210  

This is the total charge

The tip is .20 therefore $210 * .20 =42   now add the two  210 +42 = 252
