To find the amount left to give to other charities, we need to find the remainder after Mr. O'Donnell donated to the Red Cross and Special Olympics.
He gave 25% of his $500 budget to the Red Cross: 25/100 * $500 = $<<25/100*500=125>>125
The remainder after the donation to the Red Cross is $500 - $125 = $<<500-125=375>>375
He then donated 13% of the remainder to Special Olympics: 13/100 * $375 = $<<13/100*375=48.75>>48.75
The amount left to give to other charities is $375 - $48.75 = $<<375-48.75=326.25>>326.25.
Therefore, the correct answer is $326.25.

Each box contains 6 candles, and each candle weighs 238 pounds. So, the weight of each box is 6 * 238 = 1428 pounds.
Since there are 5 boxes, the total weight of the 5 boxes is 5 * 1428 = 7140 pounds.
Therefore, the correct answer is 7114 pounds.
A sheet of address labels is 634 inches long and 413 inches wide. The length is divided into sections that are 118 inches long, and the width is divided into sections that are 1112 inches wide. Solve this multi-step problem involving division with fractions. How many sections are there?(1 point)

To find the number of sections, we need to divide the length and width of the sheet by their respective section lengths.
For the length, 634 inches divided by 118 inches gives us:
634 / 118 = 5.372
For the width, 413 inches divided by 112 inches gives us:
413 / 112 = 3.6875
Since we're looking for the number of sections, we need to round down to the nearest whole number. Therefore, we have:
Length: 5 sections
Width: 3 sections
To find the total number of sections, we multiply the number of sections for the length and width:
5 sections * 3 sections = 15 sections
Therefore, the correct answer is 15 sections.
