Mason delivers 30 newspapers 20 days a month. Write and solve an equation to find n, the number of newspapers Mason delivers a month

Answer 1

To find the total number of newspapers Mason delivers in a month, we can set up an equation based on the information provided:

Mason delivers 30 newspapers each day for 20 days in a month.

We can represent this situation with the following equation:

$$n=\text{Number of newspapers per day}\times \text{Number of days per month}$$

Substituting the values we have:

$$n=30,\text{newspapers/day}\times 20,\text{days/month}$$

Now, we can solve for $n$:

$$n=30\times 20$$ $$n=600$$

Therefore, Mason delivers a total of 600 newspapers in a month.
