    I'll do a similar problem, and I challenge you to do this using similar techniques!

    If John works for 15$ a hour with his friends rather than working for 20$ an hour for 50 hours a month, what's the monthly opportunity cost?

    John would make 20*50=1000 dollars a month at the second option as he makes 20$ an hour 50 times. Next, if he works with his friends, he makes 15*50=750 dollars as he works 50 hours for 15 dollars an hour, or adds 15 50 times.

    His opportunity cost would be - = 1000-750=250 dollars a month. Good luck on this question, and feel free to ask further questions!
