Three classes at a junior high school raised money to buy new computers

•ms moore’s class raised $249.00
•ms aguilars class raised $396.62 more than ms.moores class
•mr.barrys class raised $430.43 less than ms.augilars class

what is the total amount of money raised by all three classes

Answer 1

The final amount is $1109.81

Explanation:

In order to find the total amount, start with the know amount, which is Ms. Moore's class. Her class raised $249. Now we can use that to find the amount from Ms. Aguilar's class.

$249 + $396.62 = $645.62

Now we can use the amount from Ms. Aguilar's class to find the amount from Ms. Barry's class

$645.62 - $430.43 = $215.19

Now we can add the three amounts together to find the total amount.

$249 + $645.62 + $215.19 = $1109.81

Answer 2

$1109.81

Explanation:

$249.00 +$369.62= $618.62(ms. aguilars class)

$618.92-$430.43= $188.19(mr. barry's class)

$249.00+$618.62+$188.19=$1109.81(complete answer of all 3 classes combined)
