Question

3. Maxim raised $890.88 for charity. He

divided the amount equally among his
sixteen favorite charities. How much did
each charity receive?
A. $41.61
B. $54.16
C. $55.18
D. $55.68

Answer 1

$55.68

890.88/16= 55.686

Since it is money and you can’t go over the amount you have or you’d be in debt you round down, or $55.68

Answer 2

`55.68`

Explanation:

To find the amount each charity received, divide the total amount raised by the number of charities: $890.88 / 16 = $<<890.88/16=55.68>>55.68.

So each charity received $55.68. The correct answer is therefore D: $55.68.
