Question

Cecilia set a goal to raise $4,000.00 for her favorite charity this year. She has decided to participate in a walk-a-thon to help her reach her goal. She found 70 sponsors and each sponsor has agreed to give her $0.65 for each mile that she walks in the walk-a-thon. If she walks a total of 15 miles, how much money will she still need to raise in order to reach her goal for this year?

Answer 1

Answer:

Cecilia still needs to raise $3317.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cecilia set a goal to raise $4,000.00 for her favorite charity this year.

She found 70 sponsors and each sponsor has agreed to give her $0.65 for each mile that she walks in the walk-a-thon. And she walked 15 miles.

So, money earned = $70\times0.65\times15=682.50$ dollars

And as she needs $4000 in all, she still has to raise = $4000-682.50=3317.50$ dollars.

So, Cecilia still needs to raise $3317.50.

Answer 2

she will need to raise $3,217.50 more in order to reach her goal of $4,000.00
