Dalton is running to raise awareness and money for cancer. He finds 2 people who have pledged to donate money based on the distance he runs. His neighbor says he will donate $0.25 for every 40 feet Dalton runs. His aunt also says the she will donate $30 for every mile he runs.If Dalton runs a total of 7 miles during the cancer awareness run, how much money will he have raised based on these two donations

Respuesta :

Answer:

$441 are raised from the two donations.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Distance covered by Dalton = 7 miles

Donation 1:

$0.25 for every 40 feet Dalton runs

1 mile = 5280 foot

Donation raised =

[tex]0.25\times \dfrac{7\times 5280}{40}= \$231[/tex]

Donation 2:

'$30 for every mile Dalton runs

Donation raised =

[tex]30\times 7 = \$210[/tex]

Total money raised from the two donations =

[tex]=\$231 + \$210 = \$441[/tex]

$441 are raised from the two donations.
