Question 1169161: Barinda is considering running for student government. However, she knows she will
have to work about 10 hours fewer per week if elected, and she makes $7 an hour. The
campaign will also cost her about $100 in campaign buttons and posters. What is her
opportunity cost for serving on student government if elected if she actively serves for 30
weeks? Can it be solved ASAP

Opportunity cost is the amount that she would have made at her job plus additional expenses of running for office. But you can't really tell in this situation because the answer is different depending on whether she wins the election or not. Either way, it is just straight up arithmetic.
