Answer:

Agency C offers the least expensive overall fee

Step-by-step explanation:

Alone from gross salary, you would make 24000 a year.

Agency A

24000 - ( 2000 x 0.5)

= 23,000

$1000 fee

Agency B

24000 - ( 2000 x 0.1 ) x 6

= 24000 - 200 x 6

= 24000 - 1200

= 22,800

$1200 fee

Agency C

24000 - (500 + 100)

= 24000 - 600

= 23,400

$600 fee
