Question

Marissa collects donations for a dance marathon. One group of sponsors will donate a total of $25 for each hour she dances. Another group of sponsors will make a one-time donation of $100 regardless of how long she dances. What number of hours should she dance if she wishes to raise at least $500?

Answer 1

One group giving $100 regardless how long but one donating $25 per hour. So $100+25(hours)= 500 to find the solution since they need $500 deduct $100 then it’s 400 divided by 25 which is 16 hours so

$100+25(16)=500 hours. So 16 hours

Answer 2

20 hours

Explanation:

25x20=500

The one time donation will not fufill the needs, but the payment each hour will help Marissa reach her donation goal.
