to build a deck in Bob's backyard. Bob ordered the lumber, concrete, nails, and other
supplies to be delivered on Friday. He also contracted to rent a saw for the weekend
(Sat., Sun., and Mon.) at a cost of $20 a day. When he went to pick up the saw, the store
had rented it to someone else. He drove all over town trying to borrow another, but he
could only get one for Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday at a cost of $50 per day. Because

work with him on Tuesday and, of course, Bob had to take off from work. Calculate the
damages to which Bob is entitled from the rental company. Explain.
