Answer 1

Part A:

Sunday newspaper: Start at $36 and add $4 for each paper delivered.

Saturday newspaper: Start at $12 and add $2.50 for each paper delivered.

Part B:

To calculate Stevic's total earnings after delivering 15 papers on each day:

Earnings from Sunday papers = $36 + ($4 x 15) = $96

Earnings from Saturday papers = $12 + ($2.50 x 15) = $49.50

Total earnings = Earnings from Sunday papers + Earnings from Saturday papers

Total earnings = $96 + $49.50

Total earnings = $145.50

Therefore, Stevic's total earnings after delivering 15 papers on each day is $145.50.
