• A. $\$2400$
• B. $\$3021$
• C. $\$1510$
• D. $\$3020$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\$3020$

Money earned by Alina per hour $=\$5$
Number of hours she works in a day $=4$

Amount of money earned by delivering newspapers each day $=4\times 5=\$20$

Number of days from January to May = number of days in (January + February + March + April + May) $=31+28+31+30+31=151$

Amount of money earned from January to May $=151\times 20=3020$

So. Alina will earn $\$3020$ by delivering newspapers from January to May.
