Correct Answer

Why This Is the Correct Answer
Multiply container count by unit cost and add equipment cost.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong

$5,800 is below the supported result for waste disposal estimate; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option C: $6,525
$6,525 is below the supported result for waste disposal estimate; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option D: $7,900
