Answer 2

$108.

Explanation:

We have been given that Anna and Joe's father donated $3 for every lap they swam in a swim-a-thon Ann swam 21 laps and Joe swam 15 laps. We are asked to find the amount of money their father donated using distributive property.

`\text{Amount of money their father donated}=\$3(21+15)`

`\text{Amount of money their father donated}=\$3*21+\$3*15`

`\text{Amount of money their father donated}=\$63+\$45`

`\text{Amount of money their father donated}=\$108`

Therefore, the amount of money donated by their father was $108.
