This is tricky! I think it's about calculating transport costs.

I vaguely recall that sometimes these questions assume a standard rate for transport. Could it be one of the options listed?

Wait, does the question give us Byron's transport fee? I feel like I need more info to figure out how much less Walter paid.

I think there was a practice question about hiring contractors and their fees. If Byron's transport cost was a flat rate, maybe we can estimate it?

I remember something about calculating costs based on labor and materials, but I'm not sure how to factor in the transportation savings.
