Answer 1

Answer: a. $715

Step-by-step explanation:

The list of incomes is:

Games: $650

Tables: $525

So, the total income is:

`\begin{gathered} Income=650+525 \\ Income=1,175 \end{gathered}`

And the list of expenses is:

Decorations: -$60

Prizes: -$400

So, the total amount of expenses is:

`\begin{gathered} Expenses=$60$+$400$ \\ Expenses=460 \end{gathered}`

To calculate the amount that was raised we need to substract the expenses from the income:

`\begin{gathered} =1,175-460 \\ =715 \end{gathered}`

The answer is: a. $715
