Question

Marcos raised $5,784 coordinating various fundraising activities throughout the year. He wants to divide this money evenly among 24 different charities. How much money should Marcos donate to each charity?

$240


$220


$221


$241

Answer 1

To find out how much money Marcos should donate to each charity, we need to divide the total amount raised by the number of charities:

\[
\text{Amount per charity} = \frac{\text{Total amount raised}}{\text{Number of charities}} = \frac{5784}{24}
\]

Now we perform the division:

\[
5784 \div 24 = 241
\]

So, Marcos should donate **$241** to each charity.
