Diego raised $200 from the sale of doughnuts and kolaches.
Diego sold doughnuts for $1 each and kolaches for $1.50 each. He sold a total of 180 items, with 3/5 of them being doughnuts and the remaining items being kolaches. To find the total amount Diego raised, we can follow these steps:
Determine the number of doughnuts sold:
Number of doughnuts = (180 * 3/5) / 1.5 = 120 doughnuts
Determine the number of kolaches sold:
Number of kolaches = 180 * 2/3 = 120 kolaches
Calculate the total amount raised:
Total amount = (120 * 1) + (120 * 1.5) = 120 + 180 = 200 dollars
So, Diego raised $200 from the sale of doughnuts and kolaches.
