Question

The basketball team is doing a fundraiser at a

restaurant where they get 5% of the total
amount that customers spend that day. If
customers spent about $4800, then about how
much did the basketball team earn?
I don’t get this word problem

Answer 1

$240

Explanation:

Because the basketball team would earn 5% of the total money made (or the total money that customer spent) so in this case, the bastketball team will get 5% of $4800.

5% can be written as 5/100

So 5% of 4800 would be:

5/100 * 4800 = 24000/100 = $240

So the basketball team would receive in total of $240

Hope this help you :3
