Final answer:

The subject of this question is Mathematics and it is suitable for a Middle School level. It involves Matt Johnson delivering newspapers and saving money for college.

Step-by-step explanation:

The subject of this question is Mathematics and it is suitable for a Middle School level. In this question, Matt Johnson delivers newspapers and saves $35 at the end of each quarter from his paper route collections. He is 11 years old and plans to use this money for college in 7 years. It appears the question is about calculating how much money Matt Johnson will have saved when he goes to college if he delivers the newspaper and puts away $35 at the end of each quarter. There are four quarters in a year, so Matt would save 4 times $35 each year. Since he will start college in 7 years, we would multiply the annual saving by 7 to get the total amount saved by the time he goes to college.

To calculate this:

Quarterly savings: $35

Number of quarters per year: 4

Years until college: 7

Total savings: $35 * 4 quarters * 7 years = $980

Therefore, by the time Matt goes to college, he would have saved a total of $980 from his newspaper route.
