Question

Blake makes $35, 351 per year, and wants to give 27.9 % to his localchurch. How much money should he give?

Answer 1

Given that Blake earns $35,351 in a year.

Let the donation amount be D.

Given that the donation is 27.9% of the total amount,

`D=27.9\text{ percent of }35,351`

Simplify the expression as,

`\begin{gathered} D=(27.9)/(100)\cdot35,351 \\ D=0.279\cdot35,351 \\ D=9862.929 \end{gathered}`

Thus, Blake should give $9862.929 to his local church.
