Sagot :

She expects to be 20 minutes late. She has to pay $5 for every 10 minutes.

20 minutes / 10 minutes = 2

2 x $5 = $10

If she is 20 minutes late she needs to pay $20.

She would be willing to pay anything less that $10, because anything less than 10 would save her money.

Answer: b. any price less than $10
