Question

A student is raising money for cancer research. A local business agrees to donate an additional 25% of what the student raises, while a local politician also agrees to donate an additional 5% of what the student raises. If the student raises $450.00, what is the total donation? 

(Hint: The total donation is the amount the student raises plus the additional donations.)

Answer 1

So the student raised 450 so multiply .25 x 450 = 112.5
And then 450 x .5 = 22.5
so,
450
+112.5
+22.5
=585 dollars raised alltogether
