Question

Duncan is running to raise awareness and money for cancer. He finds 2 people who have pledged to

donate money based on the distance he runs. His neighbor says he will donate $0.25 for every 40 feet
Duncan runs. His aunt also says that she will donate $12 for every mile he runs. If Duncan runs a total of
7 miles during the cancer awareness run, how much money will he have raised based on these two
donations?

Answer 1

$1008

Explanation:

12 x 7 = $84 his aunt gives him.

1 mile = 5,280 feet

5,280 x 7 = 36,960 feet he ran.

5,280 ÷ 40 = 132 for every mile he runs

132 x 7 = $924 from his neighbor.

924 + 84 = 1,008
