Karen Sullivan delivers newspapers for the Tribune Dispatch. She receives 18.2 cents per paper, 6 days a week (for the daily paper),
and 70 cents for the Sunday paper. She delivers 124 daily papers each
day and 151 Sunday papers each week. What is her total pay?

The correct answer is $241.1 each week and $964.4 each month

Explanation:

To calculate the amount Karen should receive, it is required to calculate the money she earned from Monday to Saturday and then the money she earned on Sunday as the amount paid per paper is different on Sunday.

Monday to Sunday:

Karen delivers 124 papers each day from Monday to Sunday. This means she delivers a total of 744 papers (124 papers each day x 6 days = 744 papers). Now, let's find the money she earned from Monday to Sunday:

744 papers x 18.2 cents = 13540 cents or 135.4 dollars (each dollar is equivalent to 100 cents, which means if you divide the cents into 100 you get the equivalent in dollars)

This means the total Karen earned from Monday to Saturday is $135.4

Sunday:

Karen delivers 151 Sunday papers and with each of these she earns 70 cents

151 papers x 70 cents = 10570 cents or 105.7 dollars

Total per week:

$135.4 + $105.7 = $241.1 each week, which is equivalent to $964.4 a month ($241.1 x 4 weeks = $964.4 )

the answer is a.

135 and 80
