$86.8

Explanation:

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
