To find the share for each charity, you divide the total amount raised by the number of charities:
\[
\text{Share per charity} = \frac{\text{Total raised}}{\text{Number of charities}} = \frac{18,822}{24}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\frac{18,822}{24} \approx 784.25
\]
Now, looking at the options:
a) $80
b) $600
c) $800
d) $1,000
The best estimate of each charity's share is **c) $800**.
