Question

to give money and spread awareness of homelessness Alaska made an organization and gets money for the homeless from fees from new members.There were 587 new members that were 18-24 years old and they have to pay $10 in fees.The rest who were older than 24 years old had to pay $15 in fees.If there are 1942 new members in total,how much money did Alaska contribute to stop homelessness?

Answer 1

$26,195.

Explanation:

total of new members(1942) - age group 18-24 (587)= new members(1355) to pay $15 each in fees.

1942-587=1355 x$15=20,325

next: take age group 18-24 (587)and multiple by $10 fee

587 x$10=5,870

last add both numbers together:

$20,325+ $5870=$26,195
