The question is asking for how much he earned for each newspaper he sold, so the fixed wage can be ignored. If he worked for 4 hours and he earns 7.5 dollars per hour, then he earned a total of 30 dollars. He sold 120 newspapers, so for every newspaper he sold, he earned 30/120, or 0.25 dollars. The answer is A.

Answer:

A. $0.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The newspaper carrier earned 4 times $7.50 for the work he did, since he worked for 4 hours. That is a total of $30 for the 4 hours. In that time he delivered 120 newspapers. The price he earns per newspapers is $30 divided by 120, which is $0.25.

  • 7.50 x 4 = 30
  • 30/120 = 0.25
