Given,

A newspaper sells for 75 cents.

To Find,

The cost of five newspapers =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

It is given that the cost of one newspaper is equal to 75 cents. We have to find the cost of five newspapers.

$Cost\: of\: one\: newspaper = 75\: cents$

If the cost of one newspaper is 75 cents, then the cost of five newspapers will be equal to 75 multiplied by 5.

$Cost\: of\: five\: newspapers = Cost\: of\: one\: newspaper*5$

                                       $= 75*5$

                                       $= 375\: cents$

Hence, the cost to buy five newspapers is 375 cents.
