a local newspaper can be ordered for delivery on weekdays or sundays. a weekday paper is 35 cents and the sunday edition is $1.50. the stadles ordered delivery of the weekday papers.the month of march had 23 weekdays and april had 20. how mach should the carrier charge the stadlers for those two months?
0.25(20 + 23) = ?
.25(20)+.25(23)
5+5.75
is it 10.75
Sorry -- but I had a typo in my post. Your work is one way to do this problem.
0.35(20 + 23) =
0.35 * 43 = $15.05
thank you
You're welcome.
To calculate the total cost for the two months, we need to determine the number of weekday papers delivered in March and April respectively.
In March, there were 23 weekdays, so the cost for delivering weekday papers for that month would be:
23 weekdays * $0.35 per weekday paper = $8.05
In April, there were 20 weekdays, so the cost for delivering weekday papers for that month would be:
20 weekdays * $0.35 per weekday paper = $7.00
Thus, the total cost for delivering weekday papers for both months would be:
$8.05 (March) + $7.00 (April) = $15.05
Therefore, the carrier should charge the Stadlers $15.05 for the weekday paper deliveries over the two months.
