Question

The student council is asking people to donate money for the new park outside the school. Everyone who makes the suggested donation amount will be given a bracelet. If everyone donates the suggested amount, and b bracelets are given away, what algebraic expression represents the total amount collected in donations? Please explain! Thanks!!

Answer 1

Hey

If you let b = # of bracelets and D = amount donated to get a bracelet, then the total amount collected in donations would be number of people who donated and got a bracelet (b) times the amount of the suggested donation (D). So the expression would be...

b×D or bD

*note- we didn't include an equals sign or a variable for the answer because it asked for an expression and not an equation.
