#$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#
