Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The company receives $25 for each house cleaned. If they hire three workers and each worker can clean 8 houses per week, then the total number of houses cleaned per week is 3 * 8 = 24. The total revenue per week is 24 * $25 = $600. The wage rate of a housecleaner can be no more than $600 / 3 = $200.
