How much money will he raise based on the two donations?

How Much Money Will He Raise Based On The Two Donations class=

Sagot :

The neighbor will donate $0.25 for every 40ft run.

The aunt will donate $18 for every mile run.

To determine how much he will raise if he runs 5miles, you have to calculate the amount per donor and then add them:

Neighbor

1 mile is equal to 5280 feet

To determine how many feet correspond to 5 miles, multiply the distance by 5280

[tex]5\cdot5280=26400ft[/tex]

Next, calculate how much we will make:

40ft → $0.25

26400ft → $x

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{0.25}{40}=\frac{x}{26400} \\ 26400\cdot\frac{0.25}{40}=26400\cdot\frac{x}{26400} \\ 165=x \end{gathered}[/tex]

For running 5miles, Dustin will raise $165 from the neighbor.

Aunt

The aunt will donate $18 per mile run, to determine how much she will donate, multiply $18 by 5

[tex]18\cdot5=90[/tex]

For running 5 miles, Dustin will raise $90 from the neighbor.

Next, add both amounts:

[tex]165+90=255[/tex]

Dustin will raise $255 for running 5 miles.
