Mai sold 2/3 as much lemonade as Diego. Write the names of the students in order of who raised the least amount of money to who raised the most amount of money:

Answer 1

Mai, Elena, Diego, and Kiran.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Diego raised $40.00.

Kiran sold 2 1/2 times as much lemonade as Diego, therefore the amount raised by Kiran will be:

`\begin{gathered} =(5)/(2)*40 \\ =\$100 \end{gathered}`

Elena sold 7/8 as much lemonade as Diego, therefore the amount raised by Elena will be:

`\begin{gathered} =(7)/(8)*40 \\ =\$35 \end{gathered}`

Mai also sold 2/3 as much lemonade as Diego, therefore the amount raised by Mai will be:

`\begin{gathered} =(2)/(3)*40 \\ =\$26.67 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the names of the students in order of who raised the least amount of money to who raised the most amount of money:

• Mai ($26.67), Elena ($35), Diego ($40) and Kiran ($100)

•
