(im getting graded on this)

Answer 1

Answer:125

The step by step explanation: 1500/12=125

Answer 2

Start by making an equation.

D is your variable.

12d=1500

Then, divide each side by 12 because there are 12 months.

12d=1500
—- ——
12. 12

d=125

Diana donates $125 per month to a charity. This is because when you have a yearly sum that is paid per month, but you don’t know the per month rate, you divide the yearly amount by 12 because there are 12 months.

I really hope this helps and you get a good grade!!
