Question

Travis, Jessica, and Robin are collecting donations for the school band. Travis wants to collect 20% more than Jessica, and Robin wants to collect 35% more than Travis. If the students meet their goals and Travis collects $48, how much did they collect in all?

Answer 1

$151.20

Explanation

we will use (0.35*48)+48 to represent Robins donation

we will use 48- (0.20*48)to represent Jessica's donation and $48 for Travis's

so

0.35*48+48=64.8

64.8+48-(0.2*48)+48=

64.8+48-9.6+48

64.8+38.4+48=151.2

Hope this helps
