Question

Stan, a local delivery driver, is paid $3.50 per mile driven pus a daily amount of $75. On Monday, he is assigned a route that is 30 miles long.

Answer 1

To find out how much Stan is paid a day, simply find out how many miles Stan drives per day, and multiply that with the amount Stan is paid per mile (in this case $3.50 per mile). Then, add that with the daily amount Stan earned (which is $75).

For example, on Monday, Stan drove a total of 30 miles (and he's paid $3.50 per mile).

Simply multiply $3.50 (per mile) with 30 (total number of miles driven), and that should equate to $105 earned for driving a total of 30 miles.

Then, add $105 (earned from driving 30 miles) to $75 (daily pay) and that equals $180.

Stan had been paid a total of $180 on Monday.
