At the beginning of the week, Naveen has 87 trading cards. On Monday, he gets 9 more. On Tuesday, he gives 16 away. On Wednesday, he is given 3 by a friend. On Thursday, he sells all of his cards to a collector. The collector pays him a rate of c for every card that Naveen has. If Naveen earns $124.50 from the sale, what is c, the rate that the collector pays for each card?

The answer is $1.50
87+9= 96
96-16=80
80+3= 83
$124.50/ 80= $1.56 per card,
$1.50 is the closest option to the exact answer
