Question

Marco is a newspaper boy who received a total piecework paycheck of $169.12. He receives 56 cents for every newspaper he delivers. How many newspapers did he deliver?

Answer 1

if he receives 56 cents for each period it means that the multiplication must give the total paid

`0.56* P=169.12`

where P is the number of newspapers

then, solve for p

`P=(169.12)/(56)=302`

he delivered 302 newspapers
