Question

a certain editor can review between 25 and 40 words per minute, inclusive. The editor's rate varies between $18 and $33 per hour, inclusive. what is the least amount that an author would need to pay the editor in order to have her 10000 word manuscript reviewed by the editor?

Answer 1

We will need the lowest payment for the highest word read to get the lowest cost. Therefore he will read 40 words per minute at $18 per hour.

10,000/40 = 250

250/60 = 4 1/6

4 1/6 x 18 = $75

Your final answer should be $75. Hope this helps!
