The drill team had a fundraiser for days. The drill team made an average of $44 per day. They kept 74% of the money and donated the remainder to the women's shelter. Which of the following expressions represents the amount of money that was donated?
I don't see choices, but 74% = .74
so, .74(44) = money kept
How many days? Let's say d days.
Money donated = 44d - .74(44d).
You can substitute your number of days in this expression.
U right
To find the amount of money that was donated, we need to know the total amount of money the drill team made in those days and then calculate 26% of that amount (the amount that was not kept by the team).
Let's break down the problem step by step:
Step 1: Find the total amount of money the drill team made.
The question states that the team made an average of $44 per day. Since we don't know how many days the fundraiser lasted, we can represent the total amount of money made as "44 times the number of days".
Step 2: Calculate 26% of the total amount.
The question mentions that the drill team kept 74% of the money, which means they donated 100% - 74% = 26% of the money. To find this value, we need to multiply the total amount of money made by 0.26 (since 26% is equal to 0.26 as a decimal).
Putting it all together, the expression that represents the amount of money that was donated is:
(44 times the number of days) multiplied by 0.26.
So, the expression is: 0.26 * 44 * (the number of days).
