Question

The school band has 115 members. They are raising money for band camp. If each member raises $75, what is the total amount of money raised for band camp.

$8,625
$7,750
$8,605
$8,305

Answer 1

To calculate the total amount of money raised by the school band, you can multiply the number of members by the amount each member raises:

\[
\text{Total Amount Raised} = \text{Number of Members} \times \text{Amount Raised per Member}
\]

Substituting the values:

\[
\text{Total Amount Raised} = 115 \times 75
\]

Now, performing the multiplication:

\[
115 \times 75 = 8625
\]

So the total amount of money raised for band camp is **$8,625**.
