Xander has opened a bookstore and has decided to donate 1 dollar to a children's hospital for every five books he sells. Assuming that each book costs 5 dollars, if Xander sold 485 books in a day, how much would he donate to the hospital? And how much money will he have left after the donation?

Answer 1

If Xander sold 485 books in a day, he would donate 485 / 5 = <<485/5=97>>97 dollars to the hospital.
Each book is worth 5 dollars, so Xander has earned 485 * 5 = <<485*5=2425>>2425 dollars from selling books.
After donating to the hospital, he will have 2425 - 97 = <<2425-97=2328>>2328 dollars left. Answer: \boxed{2328}.

Answer 2

now, if he donated 1 dollar for every book, how much would he donate? and please show your work

Answer 3

If Xander donated 1 dollar for every book sold, he would donate 485 dollars in total. This can be calculated by multiplying the number of books sold (485) by the amount donated per book (1).

Mathematically, the calculation can be written as:

485 books sold * 1 dollar per book = 485 dollars donated to the children's hospital.

Therefore, Xander would donate 485 dollars to the hospital.

Answer 4

and if it were 2 dollars donated per book?

Answer 5

If Xander donated 2 dollars for every book sold, he would donate 2 * 485 = <<2*485=970>>970 dollars in total.

This calculation is obtained by multiplying the number of books sold (485) by the amount donated per book (2).

Therefore, if Xander donated 2 dollars per book, he would donate a total of 970 dollars to the children's hospital.
