    The answer is: $24

    Explanation:

    The opportunity cost is the benefit that is given up when someone chooses one alternative over another.

    Roberto will not be able to work for 3 hours if he takes the first aid class. So he is giving up 3 hours of work by choosing to take the class.

    Opportunity cost = 3 hours x $8/hours = $24
