Answer 1

$539

Explanation:

First we need to look at the information given

Karen: $98.00

Emily: Karen x 3

Elizabeth: Emily /2

So if karen donated $98 and emily donated 3 times that all we need to do is multiply it by 3

$98*3= $294

So we now know that Emily donated $294

If Emily donated $294 and elizabeth donated half that all we need to do is divide $294 by 2

$294/2= $147

So we now know that Elizabeth donated $147

All we need to do know is add all three answers together $98+$294+$147=

$539

Answer 2

$539.00

Explanation:

K=98

El=3K 3*98=294
