Question

Carla donates 3% of her salary to charity each year. she makes $35,000 each year. if the relationship remains proportional, how much money will she have donated after 8 years

Answer 1

First find how much she donates in 1 year, multiply 35,000 by 3%: 35000x.03=1,050. she donates $1,050 each year. Now we need to know how much in 8 years so multiply 1,050 by 8: 1,050x8=8,400. After 8 years Carla will have donated $8,400 :)
