$$86.8$

One way to approach this question is reword it into simple terms:

$3$ men get paid $$52.08$ for a day's work.

Now we find out how much each got for the day by dividing:

$"Total amount paid"/"Total amount men"$

$($52.08)/3=$17.36$

Each man got paid $17.36 for the day.

Now we have five workers in order to find out how much each will be paid we multiply:

$$17.36xx5=$86.8$
