Question

The hospital hoped to raise $750,000 at a telethon. They raised &398,622 the first day and raised &379,873 the second day. Did the hospital reach their goal ? Explain how you estimated.

Answer 1

Explanation:

yes

To estimate whether the hospital reached their goal, we can add the amounts raised on the first and second day and compare it to the goal.

The total amount raised is $398,622 (first day) + $379,873 (second day) = $778,495.

Comparing this to the goal of $750,000, we can see that the hospital did indeed reach their goal, as $778,495 is greater than $750,000. Therefore, they not only met their goal but exceeded it by $28,495
