Answer 2

D, $18,000.00

Explanation:

Club A

$3 x is donated where x is the number of donations

Club B

$1.25x is donated where x is the number of donations

The total of donations is 25500.00

Add the donations times the dollar amount for Club A and Club B and you get the total amount donated

$3x +$1.25x = 25500.00

Combine like terms

4.25x = 25500.00

Divide by 4.25 on each side

4.25/4.25x = 25500.00/4.25

x =6000

There were 6000 donations

We want to find Club A donation amount

$3 x is the amount donated

3*6000 = 18000
