Answer:

$11 984

Explanation:


(5 * 2 * 8) * 37.45 * 4 \\ 80 * 37.45 * 4\\ 11984

(5x2x8) because it's 5 houses which require 2 days per house which the electricians only work 8 hours per day.

Thus 80x37.45x4 because the answer of (5x2x8) is 80, and they get $37.45 per hour and there is 4 electricians.
