Hallo stolfi, you have not missed it, it just incorrectly stated, maximum wage increase is wanted not minimum, which is 40x87,5=35$...hope that helps

BG, I have the test right here, and it asks for the minimum. Is this an error by ETS?

12 is minimum
35 is maximum

No doubt about this. If you've typed the question verbatim, the question is written incorrectly.
