132

Funds available after the initial flat rate charge of $29 is:

#$87.08#
#ul($29.00) larr" subtract"#
#$58.08#

So the count of the brochures is:

#($58.08)/($0.44) = 132#

#color(brown)("Notice that the 44 cents has been changed into dollars")#

It is important that for division you have the same unit of measurement. In this case it is the dollar.
