Final answer:

To determine the amount Roni donates to charity and puts into savings from her $2,010.00 paycheck, we calculate 5% for charity and 15% for savings, resulting in $100.50 and $301.50 respectively. Adding these together gives us a total of $402.00, so the correct answer is option c. $402.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves finding the amount of money that Roni donates to charity and saves from her paycheck. Roni's paycheck is $2,010.00. To calculate the amount that goes to charity, we take 5% of her paycheck, and for savings, we take 15% of her paycheck.

To find 5% of $2,010.00 meant for charity, we use the calculation: $2,010.00 × 0.05 = $100.50. Similarly, to find the 15% that goes into savings, we calculate: $2,010.00 × 0.15 = $301.50.

Adding both amounts ($100.50 for charity and $301.50 for savings) gives us the total amount that will go to charity and savings: $100.50 + $301.50 = $402.00. Therefore, the correct answer is option c. $402.
