To find out how much time Saul spent representing one client, we need to divide the total time he spent (8 hours) by the number of clients he represented (13). This gives us:

8 hours / 13 clients = 0.6154 hours per client

Next, we need to adjust this time using the learning curve percentage of 80%. To do this, we can use the formula:

Adjusted Time = Actual Time x (Learning Curve Percentage / 100) ^ (-0.32)

Plugging in our values, we get:

Adjusted Time = 0.6154 x (80 / 100) ^ (-0.32) = 0.0433 hours or 2.6 minutes (rounded to one decimal place)

Finally, we need to convert this time to seconds, so we get:

2.6 minutes x 60 seconds per minute = 156 seconds

Therefore, the answer is B) one hour two minutes and thirty six seconds.
