Question

Anthony’s pay is directly proportional to the number of newspapers he delivers; he received £15.60 to deliver 400 newspapers. How much will he be paid to deliver 700 papers?

Answer 1

To answer this first you must determine how much money he is making per newspaper so divide 15.60 by 400

15.60/400 = 0.039 per paper

then multiply that number by 700

700 * 0.039 = £27.30 paid to deliver 700 newspapers
