Looking at the table, we can see that Sandy can groom 8 dogs or bathe 4 dogs in one week, while Linda can groom 4 dogs or bathe 2 dogs in one week. This means that in the time it takes Sandy to groom 1 dog, Linda could groom 2 dogs or bathe 4 dogs. Therefore, Sandy's opportunity cost for grooming is less than Linda's.
