Explanation / Answer

If the manager is taking 20 hours for each of the ten mile stones than in 160 hours he can reach only (160/20 =8) 8 mile stones .

So if he want to reach all ten mile stones in 160 hours he should allocate (160/10=16) 16 hours for each mile stone.

So In order to maximize the total monthly bonus the manager should allocate 16 hours towards meeting each of the ten mile stones and (160-16=144) 144 hours meeting each of the remaining 9 milestones.
