Question

If one worker uses one computer, he can inventory 125 items per hour. Two workers sharing a computer can together inventory 175 items per hour. Three workers sharing a computer can together inventory 225 items per hour. And four or more workers sharing a computer can together inventory fewer than 235 items per hour. Computers cost $100 each and you must pay each worker $25 per hour.
