The student council is asking people to donate money for the new park outside the school. Everyone who makes the suggested donation amount will be given a bracelet. If everyone donates the suggested amount, and b bracelets are given away, what algebraic expression represents the total amount collected in donations?

Answer 1

Let x = suggested amount of donation

If b is the number of bracelets given away, and every person who makes the suggested donation amount will be given one bracelet, then b is also the number of people donated.

Therefore, the total collected amount is the number of people multiplied by the suggested amount, or
Total = xb
