She found 70 sponsors and each sponsor has agreed to give her $0.65 for each mile that she walks in the walk-a-thon.

Answer 1

she will need to raise $3,217.50 more in order to reach her goal of $4,000.00

Answer 2

Cecilia still needs to raise $3317.50.

Explanation:

Cecilia set a goal to raise $4,000.00 for her favorite charity this year.

She found 70 sponsors and each sponsor has agreed to give her $0.65 for each mile that she walks in the walk-a-thon. And she walked 15 miles.

So, money earned =
`70*0.65*15=682.50` dollars

And as she needs $4000 in all, she still has to raise =
`4000-682.50=3317.50` dollars.

So, Cecilia still needs to raise $3317.50.
