Alex was hired to unpack 576 items of glass wear, at five cents per piece unpacked. For every item broken in the process, however, Alex had to pay $1.98. At the end of the job, Alex received $22.71. How many items did Alex break.

576*0.05= $28.80.
Guess and check: 1.98*5=9.9
28.80-9.9=18.9- too much
1.98*3=5.94
28.80-5.94=22.86- this is the closest

So he must have broken 3 items.
Hope this helps!
