Answer:

The correct answer is 2,104 newspapers.

To solve the problem, you can set up an equation:

0.12x = 252.48

Where x is the number of newspapers delivered.

Then, you can solve for x:

x = 252.48 / 0.12

x = 2,104

Therefore, you delivered 2,104 newspapers to receive a paycheck of $252.48.

Answer: 2,104 newspapers

Explanation:

To find the number of newspapers delivered, we can divide the total paycheck by the pay per newspaper:

$252.48 ÷ $0.12/newspaper = 2,104 newspapers

Therefore, the answer is 2,104 newspapers.
