Also suppose that three neighbors are interested in having their lawns mowed. Mrs. Jones would be willing to pay ​$35 to have her lawn​ mowed, Mr. Wilson would be willing to pay ​$27​, and Ms. Smith would be willing to pay ​$23.

If Tim offers to mow lawns for ​$ ​each, what will be his producer​ surplus?

Answer:

85, although I think i'm missing a number from the question

Explanation:

he's willing to but the neighbors offer more money so scratch out the first bit, if Mr.Jones is willing to pay 35 dollars and Mr.Wilson 27 dollars then all you have to do is add. 35 + 27 is 62 and 23 dollars more would be 85 dollars. I think that I don't have another number is the question because it says Tim offers to mow the lawns for $ each. Also i'm bad at math so if i'm missing something i'm sorry but all you have to do is use a calculator. Hope this helped
