    C. x<8

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The restaurant manager can spend at most 400 a day for operating costs and payroll.

    Operating cost = $80

    Per employee cost = $40

    Let the number of employees be x.

    Then, total employee cost per day = 40 * x

    As per the given requirement,

    Fixed operating cost + total daily employee cost < 400

    Or, 80 + 40x < 400

    Simplifying the inequality:

    => 40x < 400 - 80

    => 40x < 320

    => x < 320/40

    => x < 8
