Question

Blast! Turns out child workers are not as productive as adults that I was basing my decision off of. Basically, they are two minutes slower across the board:

# of Concession Stand Employees	Average Wait Time (Minutes)	Average Wait Time (Minutes) with Child Employees
1	18	20
2	8	10
3	6	8
4	5	7
5	7	9

At the daily rate of $12.50 per child worker per day, how many should I hire?

(If you are doing this correctly you are thinking with marginal analysis, and if so, might be wondering if this is a trick question. It is not, it is quite straight forward precisely because of marginal analysis!)
