Grant spends $200.00 a year to have the newspaper delivered daily to his house. Juanita buys the newspaper daily. Monday through Saturday, she spends $0.50 and on Sunday she spends $2.00. How much more money does Juanita spend buying the newspaper yearly than Grant? Let's think first. Chain of thought:
User
Monday through Saturday Juanita buys the paper for $0.50 so that's 6 * $0.50 = $3.00. She spends $2.00 for Sunday and $3.00 for the other 6 days so she spends $2 + $3 = $5.00 for the newspaper weekly. Over 52 weeks she spends 52 * $5 = $260.00. Juanita spends $260.00 on the newspaper for the year and Grants spends $200.00 a year so Juanita spends $260 - $200 = $60.00 more.
Therefore, the answer is 60.
