I'd make sure the guy realized that he gave you 42 bucks, and then tongue in cheek, half-heartedly tell him...

"My hourly rate for algebraic and geometric calculations is normally $200 an hour, but since were tight, I'm cool with this 42 bucks!"

Then give him a good sharp elbow to his landscrapers rib cage and share a hearty chuckle with the fella.

It's seems reasonable that your fee has been budgeted into the estimate, and he is probably well aware of the bargain you dealt him. Sooo...bringing it up will make you an even more honest, no-nonsense, all round great consulting mathemetician...and a valuable asset for future 42 greenback paying calculating_DVDwatching_pizza eating_dog_playing_with opportunities.
