the Sunday newspaper costs $2.10 per issue delivered and the Saturday and weekday paper costs 20 cents per issue delivered.how many complete weeks can be purchased for $79.20? explain.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2.10 + 79.20 divided by 20?

JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

no \[y=week's ~~~~~x=your~total~money~after~adding~\]\[2.10+.20=x\]Then you look for \[79.20 \div x\]

JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

\[79.20 \div x=y\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2.3 then it would be 79.20 divided by 2.3?

JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

Correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but its a big number so do i just put 34.4 or 34?

JoelTheBoss (joel_the_boss):

\[79.20 \div x= 34.4 \] You are right

OpenStudy (anonymous):
