To find Stevic's total earnings after delivering 15 papers on each day, we first need to break down how he earns money from both the Sunday and Saturday newspapers.

  1. Sunday newspaper earnings:

    • Stevic earns $4 for each Sunday paper delivered.
    • He has already earned $36 delivering the Sunday paper.
    • This means he started with an earnings amount of $0 and added $4 for each paper delivered.

    Sunday newspaper earnings rule:

    • Start at $ 0 and add $ 4 per paper delivered
  2. Saturday newspaper earnings:

    • Stevic earns $2.50 for each Saturday paper delivered.
    • He has already earned $12 delivering the Saturday paper.
    • This means he started with an earnings amount of $0 and added $2.50 for each paper delivered.

    Saturday newspaper earnings rule:

    • Start at $ 0 and add $ 2.50 per paper delivered

Now, let's calculate his total earnings after delivering 15 papers for each day.

  • Total earnings for Sunday papers:

    • Earnings from delivering 15 Sunday papers = 15 papers × $4/paper = $60
  • Total earnings for Saturday papers:

    • Earnings from delivering 15 Saturday papers = 15 papers × $2.50/paper = $37.50

Now, we can add his earnings from each day with his previous earnings:

  • Total earnings from Sunday papers = $36 (already earned) + $60 = $96
  • Total earnings from Saturday papers = $12 (already earned) + $37.50 = $49.50

Finally, combining both totals:

  • Total earnings after delivering 15 papers on each day = $96 (Sunday) + $49.50 (Saturday) = $145.50

So, the values to fill in the rules would be:

  1. Sunday newspaper: Start at $ 0 and add $ 4.
  2. Saturday newspaper: Start at $ 0 and add $ 2.50.

His total earnings after delivering 15 papers on each day would be $145.50.
