ANSWER

$192.64

Step-by-step explanation

Jeremy Sullivan delivers newspapers.

He receives $0.127 per paper 6 days a week.

He receives $0.65 for the Sunday paper.

He delivers 124 papers daily

He delivers 151 papers on Sundays.

To calculate his total pay, we multiply the number of papers for the week by the number of days and the respective pay and multiply the number of Sunday papers by the respective pay and then add them together.

For Monday to Saturday:

Pay = 0.127 * 6 * 124 = $94.49

For Sunday:

Pay = 0.65 * 151 = $98.15

His total pay will therefore be:

94.49 + 98.15 = $192.64
