Do you agree or disagree with Sydney's solution below? Explain your reasoning using complete sentences.
small figures cost $8 and large figures cost $10
Pablo can only make 12 small or 8 large figures in 24 hours. 12 small makes $96. 8 large makes $80. Kenneth only has time to paint 10 figures, so $96 is impossible. He could paint 10 small figures which will make $80. So he either makes 8 large or 10 small figures and they make $80.

I agree with Sydney's solution. She correctly calculated that Pablo can make either 8 large figures or 10 small figures in 24 hours, and both of those options would make $80. This is the most efficient solution for Kenneth, as it allows him to make the most money in the time he has available.
