Contracting: The BJ Electrical Company needs to hire master electricians and apprentices for a one week project. Master electricians receive a salary of $750 per week and apprentices receive $350 per week. As part of its contract, the company has agreed to hire at least 30 workers. The local Building Safety Council recommends that each master electrician spend three hours for inspection time during the project. This project should require 25 hours of inspection time. How many of each type of worker should be hired to accomplish the project and still meet the contract safety requirements?

In general, you need to give us a complete and accurate statement of the problem and show us your work so we can see where you are stuck.if we were to change up the question to include the parts u wanted to know about>> what would we have to do to find the answer?
