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?

Question

$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.
