Explanation:

Giving the following information:

It takes 2 finish carpenters 8 days to do the work.

Each finish carpenter ears $37.50 per hour and works 7 hours per day.

To determine the total cost, first, we need to structure the total cost formula:

Total cost= 2*(37.5x)

x= total number of hours

Now, for 8 days:

Total hours= 8*7= 56

Total cost= 2*(37.5*56)

Total cost= $4,200
