A painter, a plumber, and an electrician enter into a cooperative arrangement in which each of them agrees to work for himself/herself and the other two for a total of 10 hours per week according to the schedule shown in Table 2.8. For tax purposes, each person must establish a value for his/her services. They agree to do this so that they each come out even-that is, so that the total amount paid out by each person equals the amount he/she receives. What hourly rate should each person charge if the rates are all whole numbers between $30 and $60 per hour?
