Emmalyn decided to paint fences in her neighborhood for twenty cents per meter. If there were 50 fences in the neighborhood that she had to paint and each fence was 500 meters long, calculate the total amount she earned from painting the fences.
The total length for the fifty fences is 50*500 = <<50*500=25000>>25000 meters.
If Emmalyn charged twenty cents to paint a meter of a fence, the total income she got from painting the fences is $0.20*25000 =$5000
