Answer 1

Colton earned $359.00 for the fundraiser over these two weeks by selling magazine subscriptions and raffle tickets.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the amount of money Colton earned for the fundraiser over two weeks, we need to calculate the total sales for magazines and raffle tickets for each week, and then add the amounts together.

For the first week, Colton sold 14 magazine subscriptions and 36 raffle tickets. The total sales for magazine subscriptions in the first week is 14 x $10.25 = $143.50. The total sales for raffle tickets in the first week is 36 x $0.50 = $18.00.

For the second week, Colton sold 18 magazine subscriptions and 26 raffle tickets. The total sales for magazine subscriptions in the second week is 18 x $10.25 = $184.50. The total sales for raffle tickets in the second week is 26 x $0.50 = $13.00.

Adding the sales from both weeks, we have $143.50 + $18.00 + $184.50 + $13.00 = $359.00.

Therefore, Colton earned $359.00 for the fundraiser over these two weeks.
