Matilda has a summer job delivering newspapers.

She earns $\$ 6.00$ an hour plus $\$ 0.25$ per newspaper delivered.

Matilda delivers 30 newspapers per hour.

How much money will she earn during a 3 hour shift?
(A) $\$ 40.50$
(B) $\$ 18.75$
(C) $\$ 13.50$
(D) $\$ 25.50$
(E) $\$ 28.50$
During a 3 hour shift, Matilda will deliver $3 \times 30=90$ newspapers.

Therefore, she earns a total of $3 \times \$ 6.00+90 \times \$ 0.25=\$ 18.00+\$ 22.50=\$ 40.50$ during her 3 hour shift.
