men make 80 cookies a day and are paid with 500 /day Total cookies to be made 4016... if we hire 50 men total output would be 50*80=4000 and need to be paid a total amount of 50*500 =25000 and remaining 16 donuts would be charged as 16*20 =320......that is still cheaper if we hire women at 500/day making 60 donuts....[ lets calculate 66 women * 60 donuts= 3960....for 66 women only 66*500 =33000 is to paid] ...ovio anyone would hire only men for these rates thus 50 is the answer
