Ken hires Todd to mow his lawn. He tells Todd, I'll pay you what I think the job is worth when you're finished. Todd agrees to those terms. Is there a binding contract?

  B) Yes, because Todd has agreed to Ken's terms, even though no specific price has been mentioned.
  C) Yes, because agreeing to let Todd mow his lawn is a detriment to Ken.
