Question

You and your friend participate in a charity run. For every mile run, $2 is donated to the charity. You run 4 miles and your friend runs 3 miles. How much money, in dollars, do you and your friend raise for the charity?

a. $14
b. $16
c. $18
d. $20

Answer 1

You and your friend raised $14 for the charity.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the amount of money raised for the charity, we first need to find the total distance covered by you and your friend. You ran 4 miles and your friend ran 3 miles, so the total distance covered is 4 + 3 = 7 miles.

Next, we multiply the total distance by the amount donated per mile, which is $2. So, the total amount raised for the charity is 7 x $2 = $14.
