Stevic delivers newspapers. He has already earned $36 for each Sunday paper and $12 for each Saturday paper. He earns $4 for each Sunday paper. He earns $2.50 for each Saturday paper. How much does Stevic earn from delivering 15 papers on both days?
From 15 Sunday papers, Stevic earns 15 * $4= $<<15*4=60>>60.
From 15 Saturday papers, he earns 15 * $2.50= $<<15*2.5=37.5>>37.5.
Stevic will earn in total $37.5 + $60= $<<37+60=97>>97. Answer: \boxed{97}.
I’m confused
I apologize for any confusion. Let's break it down step by step:
Stevic earns $36 for each Sunday paper. If he delivers 15 Sunday papers, he earns 15 * $36 = $540.
He also earns $12 for each Saturday paper. If he delivers 15 Saturday papers, he earns 15 * $12 = $180.
Adding up the earnings from both days, Stevic earns $540 + $180 = $720.
Therefore, Stevic earns $720 from delivering 15 papers on both days.
I’m sorry but he earns $4 for each Sunday paper and $2.50 for each Saturday paper, so we start from $36 and add $4
I apologize for my previous response. Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
Stevic earns $36 for each Sunday paper. If he delivers 15 Sunday papers, he earns 15 * $36 = $540.
For each Sunday paper, he also earns an additional $4. So, for 15 Sunday papers, he also earns 15 * $4 = $60.
Similarly, Stevic earns $12 for each Saturday paper. If he delivers 15 Saturday papers, he earns 15 * $12 = $180.
For each Saturday paper, he also earns an additional $2.50. So, for 15 Saturday papers, he also earns 15 * $2.50 = $37.50.
Adding up the earnings from both days, Stevic earns $540 + $60 + $180 + $37.50 = $817.50.
Therefore, Stevic earns $817.50 from delivering 15 papers on both days.
