Tia collected $10 for a walkathon and $ 5 from each friend. What is the total amount of donations she collected from 4 friends? Is my answer below correct?
Friend - 1,2,3,4
Donations - $5, $5, $5, $5 = $20
Answer is $20 from 4 friends.
obviously correct
Your answer is close, but it seems like you made an error in your calculation. Let me explain how to correctly calculate the total amount of donations Tia collected from four friends.
From the information given, Tia collected $10 for the walkathon. Additionally, each friend donated $5. To find the total amount collected from friends, you need to multiply the donation amount ($5) by the number of friends (4) and add it to the $10 collected for the walkathon.
Here's the correct calculation:
Donation per friend = $5
Number of friends = 4
Total amount collected from friends = ($5 * 4) + $10
= $20 + $10
= $30
So, the correct answer is that Tia collected a total of $30 from four friends.
