If Amy chooses to clean, Heather's best choice would be to not clean, which would give her a payoff of $100. If Heather chooses to clean, she will only receive a payoff of $15, which is less than if she chooses not to clean. Therefore, the best choice for Heather is to not clean, and the best overall choice for both roommates is for Amy to clean while Heather does not. This results in a payoff of (65, 100).
