Respuesta :

To find out how many newspapers Jarrod delivered last month, we can calculate the total number of newspapers he delivered on each type of day and then multiply it by the number of days in the month.

Given:

- Jarrod delivers 63 newspapers each Monday through Saturday.

- Jarrod delivers 78 newspapers each Sunday.

- Last month consisted of 4 Sundays and 26 other days.

Calculations:

1. Newspapers delivered on Sundays:

78 newspapers/day * 4 Sundays = 312 newspapers

2. Newspapers delivered on other days (Monday through Saturday):

63 newspapers/day * 6 days/week = 378 newspapers/week

378 newspapers/week * 4 weeks = 1512 newspapers

Total newspapers delivered last month:

312 newspapers (Sundays) + 1512 newspapers (other days) = 1824 newspapers

Therefore, Jarrod delivered 1824 newspapers last month.
