Question

A student is raising money for cancer research. A local business agrees to donate an additional 25% of what the student raises, while a local politician also agrees to donate an additional 5% of what the student raises. If the student raises $450.00, what is the total donation?

Answer 1

0.25 * 450.00 = $112.50
0.05 * 450.00 = $22.50
$450.00 + $112.50 + $22.50 = $585.00
