Question

Ali Clara and Shane raise money for new books for the school library all Ellie rays 20% more than Clara and $58 more than Shan Claries 1/4 times

Answer 1

a. $435

b. 33.33%

Explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Let Clara raised money = x

As given,

Ali raised 20% more than Clara

⇒Ali raised money =
`x + (20)/(100)x = x + (1)/(5) x = (6)/(5)x`

Also given,

Clara raised
`(1)/(4)` times more than Shan

Clara raised money = Shan raise money +
`(1)/(4)` times shan raired money

⇒Clara raised money =
`(5)/(4)` Shan raised money

⇒Shan raised money =
`(4)/(5)` times Clara

⇒Shan raised money =
`(4)/(5)` x

As given,

Ali raised $58 more than shan

⇒
`(6)/(5)x = (4)/(5)x + 58`

⇒
`(6)/(5)x -(4)/(5) x = 58`

⇒
`(2)/(5)x = 58`

⇒x = (29)(5) = $145

∴ we get

Clara raised money = x = $145

Ali raised money =
`(6)/(5)x` = $174

Shan raised money =
`(4)/(5)` x = $116

a.)

Total raised money = $145 + 174 + 116 = $435

b.)

Percentage of money Clara raised =
`(145)/(435)`×100% =
`(1)/(3)`×100% = 33.33%
