Question

Hailey participated in a swim-a-thon. She got 8 donors to equally contribute money. Hailey raised a total of $2,820. If each donor sponsored 5 laps, how much did each of them donate per lap? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

70.5

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: Each donor donated $70.5 per lap.

Explanation:

1. If she got 8 donors and each one of them sponsored 5 laps, then the total number of laps was:

`(8)(5)=40` laps

2. Hailey raised a total of $2,820, therefore, you can calculate the amount of money donated by each donor (which you can call
`x`) by dividing $2,820 by 40 laps, as you can see below:

`x=(2,820)/(40)\\x=70.5`
