Question

A student is raising money for cancer research. A local business agrees to donate an additional 25% of what the student raises, while a local politician also agrees to donate an additional 5% of what the student raises. If the student raises $450.00, what is the total donation?

(Hint: The total donation is the amount the student raises plus the additional donations.)

Answer 1

585$

Explanation:

25% of 450$ is 112.5

5% is 22.5

add all of this to the 450 and you get the answer!

Answer 2

25% of 450= $112.50
$450+$112.50=$562.50
5% of $450 = $90
$562.50+$90=$652.50
The total donation was $652.50
