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

1 answer

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.
