During one season, two baseball players donate money to a charity based on their hits. They each donate $0.75 for a single, $1.50 for a double, $3.75 for a triple, and $8.25 for a home run. The table shows the number of different types of hits for each player.

Player Type of Hit
Jose 135 95 30 26
Mark 19 2 13 34

Option 1: Jose's total donation: $547.50, Mark's total donation: $158.25
Option 2: Jose's total donation: $268.50, Mark's total donation: $98.25
Option 3: Jose's total donation: $414.75, Mark's total donation: $126.00
Option 4: Jose's total donation: $329.25, Mark's total donation: $85.50

Answer 1

To calculate the total donation for each player, multiply the number of hits of each type by the corresponding donation amount and add them together. The correct answer is Option 3: Jose's total donation: $414.75, Mark's total donation: $126.00.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the total donation for each player, we need to multiply the number of hits of each type by the corresponding donation amount and then add these values together. For Jose, his total donations can be calculated as follows:

• Singles: 135 x $0.75 = $101.25
• Doubles: 95 x $1.50 = $142.50
• Triples: 30 x $3.75 = $112.50
• Home Runs: 26 x $8.25 = $214.50

Adding these amounts together, we get:

$101.25 + $142.50 + $112.50 + $214.50 = $570.75

Therefore, Option 1: Jose's total donation: $547.50, Mark's total donation: $158.25 is incorrect. The correct answer is Option 3: Jose's total donation: $414.75, Mark's total donation: $126.00.
