Question

Elsa is selling bracelets at craft shows to raise money for an animal shelter.

She is also accepting additional cash donations. She plans to give 75% of the

money from all bracelet sales and donations to the shelter. She will use the

remaining money to buy more supplies. Bracelet sales and donations from

the first craft show are represented by the expression 24n + 32, where n

represents the amount Elsa charges for each bracelet. The second craft

show sales and donations is represented by the expression 40n + 56. If Elsa

charges $4 for each bracelet, how much money will she donate to the

Answer 1

Answer:

$258

Step-by-step explanation:

75% = 0.75 when we divide by 100 to convert a percentage to a decimal

75% of total sales = money donated

Total sales = sales from first show + sales from second show

                  = 24n+32 + (40n+56)

                  = 64n + 88

0.75 of (64n+88) = money donated

                            = 0.75 * (64n+88)

                            = 48n + 66

substitute 4 for n, as she charges $4 for each bracelet

money donated = 48*4 + 66 = 258
