Answer 1

To find the total amount of money earned in the bake sale, we can multiply the amount each person received by the number of people.

Since each of the three girls received $32.19, we calculate the total earnings as follows:

Total earnings = Amount per person × Number of people
Total earnings = $32.19 × 3

Now, let's perform the calculation:

Total earnings = 32.19 × 3 = 96.57

So, the girls earned a total of $96.57 at the bake sale.

Therefore, you would type:

96.57
