Answer 1

Answer:

3 workers

Explanation:

It is given that Clara is opening a room cleaning business on the campus. For Clara, there are 5 potential workers.

The daily wage of for the worker are :

Alex --- $\ 110$

Diane -- $\ 130$

Cedric -- $\ 150$

Peter -- $\ 170$

Zekta -- $\ 190$

Each of the worker will clean 8 rooms and $ 21 will be charged for each room to be cleaned.

Therefore, the number of the workers required is :

The marginal revenue product for each worker = 21 x 8 = 168

So, Clara will hire only those workers who have daily wage less than $ 168.

Therefore, Clara will hire 3 workers, namely Alex, Diane and Cedric.
