Answer:

(B) Hire the firefighter if the cost of the new firefighter is less than $75,000.

Explanation:

The city should hire the Firefighter only if the cost of new firefighter is less than $75,000.

Since $5 x 15000 residents = $75, 000.

Therefore it is still beneficial to hire a new firefighter if the cost is less than $75, 000
