how should quote this be written correctly?
Joe said:
You can pick up the phone and ask, 'How much will this cost" and they will calculate it for you.
Should "how" be capitalized?
What punctuation, if any, should be after "cost?

Because Joe said the entire sentence, you need to use full quotes at the beginning and end, and single quotes for a quotation within a quotation. asp : Rule 4 Use single quotation marks for quotes within quotes. Note that the period goes inside all quote marks.
