Answer

$5.09pC$

Work Step by Step

First of all, we find the total electric flux as $\phi=\phi_1+\phi_2+\phi_3+\phi_4+\phi_5+\phi_6$ $\implies \phi=150.0+250.0-350.0+175.0-100.0+450.0=575.0\frac{Nm^2}{C}$ Now we can find the total charge as $q=\epsilon{\circ}\phi$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $q=(8.85\times 10^{-12})(575.0)$ $q=5.09\times 10^{-9}=5.09pC$
