Students deliver catalogues and leaflets to houses.
One day, they have to deliver 480 catalogues and 1520 leaflets.
Each student can deliver either 15 catalogues or 80 leaflets in 1 hour. Each student can only work for 8 hours. All students hired are paid £50.40 per day, even if they don't work a full day.
If the minimum number of students are hired, how much will the wage bill be?
The author Mary Shelley use the word chimerical in that line because she said that the powers of Cornelius Agrippa were improbable and because she wanted to say this in a fancy way.
Hope this Helps :)
BTW, Mary Shelley is the author of Frankenstein <span />
