Answer 1

Explanation:

20 Students x 2.50$= 50$

15 Students x 3.25$= 48.75$

50+48.75=98.75

So in all 98.75$ of donations were made by the students

Answer 2

The students donated a total of $98.75.

Explanation:

Because 20 students donated $2.50 each, multiply 2.50 by 20.

2.50*20=50

Because 15 students donated $3.25 each, multiply 3.25 by 15.

3.25*15=48.75

Lastly, add 50 and 48.75 together to find the total donations.

50+48.75=$98.75
