Question

A student is raising money for a local food pantry. A local business agrees to donate an additional 15% of what the student raises, while the principal of the student's school also agrees to donate 5% of what the student raises. If the student raises $380.00, how much will the food pantry receive

Answer 1

0.15 (380) = 57

0.05 (380) = 19

Let p = Food Pantry money in total

p = 380 + 57 + 19

p = $456

Answer 2

$456

Step-by-step explanation:

Donation by local business :
`(15)/(100) * 380 \\ \\ (15 * 38)/(10) = 57`

= $57

Donation by the principal of the student's school :

`(5)/(100) * 380 \\ \\ = (5 * 38)/(10) = 19`

= $19

The total money received by the food pantry :

$380 + $57 + $19

= $456
