Answer 1

Answer:

a. $435

b. 33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Let Clara raised money = x

As given,

Ali raised 20% more than Clara

⇒Ali raised money =  $x + \frac{20}{100}x = x + \frac{1}{5} x = \frac{6}{5}x$

Also given,

Clara raised $\frac{1}{4}$ times more than Shan

Clara raised money = Shan raise money + $\frac{1}{4}$ times shan raired money

⇒Clara raised money = $\frac{5}{4}$  Shan raised money

⇒Shan raised money =  $\frac{4}{5}$ times Clara

⇒Shan raised money = $\frac{4}{5}$ x

As given,

Ali raised $58 more than shan

⇒$\frac{6}{5}x = \frac{4}{5}x + 58$

⇒$\frac{6}{5}x -\frac{4}{5} x = 58$

⇒$\frac{2}{5}x = 58$

⇒x = (29)(5) = $145

∴ we get

Clara raised money = x = $145

Ali raised money = $\frac{6}{5}x$ = $174

Shan raised money =$\frac{4}{5}$ x  = $116

a.)

Total raised money = $145 + 174 + 116 = $435

b.)

Percentage of money Clara raised = $\frac{145}{435}$×100% = $\frac{1}{3}$×100% = 33.33%
