A. Do I just mulpite,add or divide?
First you need to proofread and correct your errors.
Seventy two GALLONS?
MTHREE?
Seventy two balloons, and mthree is three. Sorry!
72 * 25 = $1,800
5 * 12.50 = $62.50
3 * 35 = $105
Do you see what to do with those products?
Do I add them all?
To determine the total amount of money collected after the five partial refunds were paid, we need to calculate a few steps:
Step 1: Calculate the amount of money initially collected from the registration fees of the participants.
- There were 72 gallons registered, and each paid $25, so the amount collected initially is 72 * $25.
Step 2: Calculate the refund amount given to the five participants who didn't show up.
- The refund given to each of the five participants is half of the registration fee, which is $25 / 2.
- Calculate the total refund amount by multiplying the refund for each participant by the number of participants who didn't show up, which is (5 * $25 / 2).
Step 3: Calculate the amount collected from the additional balloons that showed up.
- Three additional balloons showed up and paid the registration cost plus an additional $10 each.
- Multiply the number of additional balloons by the sum of the registration cost and the additional $10, which is (3 * ($25 + $10)).
Step 4: Calculate the total collected amount after the refunds were paid.
- Subtract the refund amount from step 2 from the initial collection amount calculated in step 1.
- Add the amount collected from the additional balloons calculated in step 3 to the result obtained from step 2.
Once these steps are completed, you will have the total amount of money collected after the five partial refunds were paid.
