Question

Karen Sullivan delivers newspapers for the Tribune dispatch. She receives 18.2 cents per paper, six days a week (for the daily paper), and $.70 for the Sunday paper. She delivers 124 daily papers each day and 151 Sunday papers each week what is your total pay.

Answer 1

Answer:

About $241.11

Step-by-step explanation:

So, Karen receives 18.2 cents per paper.

She delivers 124 paper per day.

In other words, on days other than Sunday, she will make a total of:

$18.2(124)=2256.8\text{ cents}$

On Sunday, each paper is sold for $0.70 or 70 cents. She also sells 151 Sunday papers. Thus, on a Sunday, she will make a total of:

$70(151)=10570\text{ cents}$

Therefore, in one week, she will do the first equation six times and the Sunday equation once. Thus, her total pay will be:

$6(2256.8)+10570=24110.8\text{ cents}\approx\ 241.11$
