The student council is asking people to donate money for the new park outside the school. Everyone who makes the suggested donation amount will be given a bracelet. If everyone donates the suggested amount, and b bracelets are given away, what algebraic expression represents the total amount collected in donations?
Let x = suggested amount of donation
If b is the number of bracelets given away, and every person who makes the suggested donation amount will be given one bracelet, then b is also the number of people donated.
Therefore, the total collected amount is the number of people multiplied by the suggested amount, or
Total = xb
hope this helps~ `u`
To represent the total amount collected in donations, we can use the equation:
Total amount collected = suggested donation amount * number of bracelets given away.
Let's denote the suggested donation amount as "d" and the number of bracelets given away as "b".
Therefore, the algebraic expression that represents the total amount collected in donations is:
Total amount collected = d * b
To represent the total amount collected in donations, we need to determine the amount collected per bracelet, and then multiply it by the number of bracelets given away.
The suggested donation amount is not mentioned, so let's call it D dollars. If everyone donates the suggested amount, each person will donate D dollars, and there are b bracelets given away.
Therefore, the total amount collected in donations can be represented by the algebraic expression:
Total amount collected = D * b
Where D is the suggested donation amount and b is the number of bracelets given away.
