#$0.04#

Lets make this into algebra, let flyer=#f#.

#800f+$5.50=$32.50#

We want #f# on one side, and to do this we minus #$5.50# from both sides.

#800f=$27#

Then to solve an equation like this, we want to get #1f# or #f#, we do this by dividing the value of the #800# flyers by the value of them (#$32.50#)

#f=$32.50/800=0.040625#

Rounding this to 2 decimal places, we get #$0.04# per flyer
