You deliver newspapers and you get paid .25/week day paper

you deliver and .50/weekend paper delivered. If you deliver

300 week day papers per day and 200 weekend papers per

weekend day, how much have you made for the week?

To calculate how much you made for the week, let's break it down step by step:

### 1. Weekday Earnings
You deliver 300 weekday papers per day, and there are 5 weekdays in a week (Monday to Friday).
- Each weekday paper earns you $0.25.
- Total earnings for weekdays:
  \[
  300 \text{ papers/day} \times 5 \text{ days/week} \times 0.25 \text{ dollars/paper} = 375 \text{ dollars}
  \]

### 2. Weekend Earnings
You deliver 200 weekend papers per weekend day, and there are 2 weekend days (Saturday and Sunday).
- Each weekend paper earns you $0.50.
- Total earnings for weekends:
  \[
  200 \text{ papers/day} \times 2 \text{ days/week} \times 0.50 \text{ dollars/paper} = 200 \text{ dollars}
  \]

### 3. Total Earnings for the Week
Now, add the weekday and weekend earnings:
\[
375 \text{ dollars} + 200 \text{ dollars} = 575 \text{ dollars}
\]

So, you have made **$575 for the week**.
