Answer 1

simple. just do this:
1000x=1600
x=1600÷1000
x=1.6

each newspaper is $1.60

Answer 2

The correct answer is $1,60.

Explanation:

Analyzing the information we have we can say that:

1000 copies of the city newspaper cost $ 1600.

Now we must find out how much each copy cost.

A good way to find out this would be through a cross-multiplication.

Where x will be the value we have to find out:

if 1000 copies ----- 1600

1 copy ---------- x

1000 x = 1600. 1

x = 1600: 1000

x = 1.60

This way we can show that a copy cost $ 1.60.
