Question

Veronica is running in a charity run. She raised d dollars for the charity

by asking people to sponsor her. On average, each person gave $28.
If Veronica had 12 people sponsor her, what was the total amount she
raised?

Answer 1

If 12 persons sponsored her and each gave her 28
You multiply 28x12 and you will get 336
So the amount she earned was $336

Answer 2

$336

Explanation:

On average each person gave $28 dollars, if 12 people sponsored her, what did she raise?

how to find this is very simple, she raised d =(total amount of money raised) in dollars, average means we assume that with any amount of people one person gave 28 dollars each.

Our problem would read out to be d(total amount she raised) is equal to $28 times x(amount of people who sponsored her) or d = 28 * x

If 12 people sponsored her

original equation:

d = 28 * x

equation with x known(12 people)

d = 28 * 12

to solve all we do is multiply 28 times the amount of people who sponsored her, in this case, its 12.

d = 336

we know that if 12 people sponsor her d, or the total amount she raised, is equal to $336
