Answer:

They earn $141

Explanation:

On the first day, the members earned 90% of their daily goal so we need to find out what 90% of 50 is.

90 × 50 ÷ 100

= 4500 ÷ 100

= $45

On the second day, the members earned 6% more than their daily goal.

6% of 50 + 50

(6 × 50 ÷ 100) + 50

= (3) + 50

= $53

On the third day, the members earned 14% less than their daily goal.

14% of 50 - 50

50 - (14 × 50 ÷ 100)

= 50 - (7)

= $57

Now we add the earings up =

$45 + $53 + $43

= $141
