Answer: [tex]\$1.6[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Let be "x" the price in dollars of one copy of the city newspaper.
You need to analize the information provided in the exercise:
1. The total number of copies of the city newspaper sold in the newspaper stand is:
[tex]Total\ copies=1,000[/tex]
2. The amount of money earned by selling 1,000 copies of the city newspaper is:
[tex]Total\ earned=\$1,600[/tex]
Then, you can determine that the value of "x" can be found with:
[tex]x=\frac{Total\ earned}{Total\ copies}[/tex]
3. Finally, substituting values, you get:
[tex]x=\frac{\$1,600}{1,000}\\\\x=\$1.6[/tex]
