The amount donated by each sponsor are $10, $16 and $9 respectively

How much money does each sponsor donate

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

Each student = 8 km

Calculating the amount donated by each, we have

Leanne's sponsor $10 regardless of how far she walks

This means that

Leanne's sponsor = $10

Next, we have

Gilberto 's sponsor $2 per kilometer (km).

This means that

Gilberto 's sponsor = $2 * 8

Gilberto 's sponsor = $16

Next, we have

Alana's sponsor $5 donation plus 50 cents per kilometer

This means that

Alana's sponsor = $5 + 50 cents * 8

Alana's sponsor = $5 + 0.50 * 8

Alana's sponsor = $9

Hence, the amount donated are $10, $16 and $9 respectively

Question

Raising money

Leanne's sponsor $10 regardless of how far she walks

Gilberto 's sponsor $2 per kilometer (km).

Alana's sponsor $5 donation plus 50 cents per kilometer

Suppose each student walk 8 kilometers in the walkathon. How much money does each sponsor donate?
