Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The company receives $25 for each house cleaned. If it hires three workers, it can clean 24 houses per week. So, the total revenue per week is 24 * $25 = $600. The cost of hiring three workers is 3 * $175 = $525. So, the profit is $600 - $525 = $75. If the wage rate of a housecleaner is more than $175, the cost of hiring three workers will be more than $525, and the profit will be less than $75. So, the wage rate of a housecleaner can be no more than $175.
