Answer 2

Answer:April's cumulative donation exceeds Dita's cumulative donation in four months .

Explanation:

Step 1 ..In the first month

April donated 150KR

Dita donated 300KR

2nd month

April : 150kr+150kr*2.5= 300KR*2.5 =375kr. Dita :300kr+400kr=700kr.

3rd month

April: 375kr+375kr*2.5=937.5kr. Dita:700kr+400kr=1100kr.

4th month-

April :937.5kr+937.5kr*2.5=2343.75kr.

Dita :1100kr+400kr=1500kr.

Ditas contribution increases at a constant rate of 400KR while April's contribution increases

By doubling the initial amount and multiplying by 2.5 .
