Answer: Each donor donated $70.5 per lap.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. If she got 8 donors and each one of them sponsored 5 laps, then the total number of laps was:

$(8)(5)=40$ laps

2. Hailey raised a total of $2,820, therefore, you can calculate the amount of money donated by each donor (which you can call $x$ ) by dividing $2,820 by 40 laps, as you can see below:

$x=\frac{2,820}{40}\\x=70.5$
