A professional janitor can clean a certain high school in (4+4) hours, working at a constant rate. A student sentenced to detention can clean that same high school in 20 hours, also working at a constant rate. If the student is paid $7 total per hour and the janitor is paid $21 per hour, how much more would it cost the school to pay the janitor to do the job himself than it would to pay the student and the janitor to do the job together?
