Lucy's Lunch is sending out flyers and pays a bulk rate of 14.9 cents per piece of mail. If she mails 1,500 flyers, what will she pay?
Multiply the price per piece through the number of pieces; 14.9 × 1,500 = 22,350 cents. Change the cents into dollars through dividing by 100 (move the decimal point two places to the left); 22,350 cents = $223.50.
