Jonathan made seven Easter baskets for needy children with donations of money from the community. In the end, Jonathan had ten dollars and twenty-five cents left over which he donated to the local food bank. Each basket contained twelve dollars and fifty-five cents worth of candy and gifts. How much money did Jonathan receive in donation from the community?
$12.55 * 7 = $87.85
That's how much community money he spent on the baskets.
$87.85 + $10.25 = $98.10
Money spent + leftover money
Amount of money Jonathan receive in dontain
from the community =
Total worth of 7 Easter baskets + Money left overs
at the end 1 ten dollars and twenty-five cents
= 7 * worth of each basket + ten dollars and twenty-five cents
= 7 * Twelve dollars and fifty-five cents + ten dollars and twenty-five cent
= 84 dollars 385 cents + 10 dollars 85 cents
= 94 dollars 410 cents
As we know that 1 dollars = 100 cents
410 cents = 4 dollars and 10 cnets
Now,
Total amount of money Jonathan receive in donation from community
= Ninety eight dollars and 10 cents
= $98.10
