Question

YMBCA donates 90,000 dollars.
MECH donates twice that amount. How much money was donated?

Answer 1

Answer: $270,000

Step-by-step explanation:

YMBCA = $90,000

MECH = ($90,000)(2) = $180,000

Total = YMBCA + MECH = $90,000 + $180,000 = $270,000

Answer 2

Answer:

$270,000 was donated.

Twice refers to 2 times the amount, so 90,000 x 2 gives you 180,000. Now YMBCA also has 90,000 dollars. Add 90,000 to 180,000 and the total is 270,000.
