Scott is a manager at a pool cleaning business. He has hired 10 workers to clean pools for him and is considering what type of payment scheme he should set up for his workers.
He can pay each of his workers 10 per hour to clean pools, or he can pay his workers 20 for each pool a worker cleans. (It takes 2 hours, on average, for an employee to clean a pool thoroughly.) If Scott wants to maximize the number of pools his workers clean in one day, which payment scheme should he use? Explain.
