First, find the profit for a single newspaper. .32 minus .23 is .09. Then, multiply by 94, and you get $8.46. He better find a better business.

newspaper costs .23
sells for .32 therefore the profit is .32 - .23 = .09
profit on 94 papers would be 94 x .09 = $8.46

M = (x - y)z
x = sale price per piece = 0.32
y = cost price per piece = 0.23
z = number of pieces = 94
M = Make?
Plugging
M = (0.32 - 0.23)(94)
= (0.09)(94)
= $8.46
