From a monetary standpoint, which of these is the correct option for a family who needs a plumber?
A)
hiring Al if they expect the job to take four hours
B)
hiring Bob if they expect the job to take six hours
c)
hiring Al if they expect the job to take three hours
D)
hiring Al if they expect the job to take one hour or less

Answer 1

A) hiring Al if they expect the job to take four hours

Step-by-step explanation:

From a purely monetary point of view, it would be cheaper to hire Al if the job is expected to take four hours because 540 * 4 + 80= $2,240.

While Bob's charge for four hours would be 565 * 4= $2,260.

Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
