Re: Total Charge
If you have the oxidation state of the transition metal, then you can look at the charges of the ligands and add them together. If the oxidation state of the TM is +3, but the total charge of the ligands is -2, then the total charge of the coordination compound is +1.

Re: Total Charge
You have to add up the charge of the transition metal and the charges of all the ligands attached to the transition metal

Re: Total Charge
In order to find this total charge, you would have to sum the charges of the transition metal and the ligands.
