Question

Dalton 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 Dalton runs. His aunt also says the she will donate $30 for every mile he runs.If Dalton 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

$441 are raised from the two donations.

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Distance covered by Dalton = 7 miles

Donation 1:

$0.25 for every 40 feet Dalton runs

1 mile = 5280 foot

Donation raised =

`0.25* (7* 5280)/(40)= \$231`

Donation 2:

'$30 for every mile Dalton runs

Donation raised =

`30* 7 = \$210`

Total money raised from the two donations =

`=\$231 + \$210 = \$441`

$441 are raised from the two donations.
