A) $57
B) $60
C) $75
D) $80
E) $90

Respuesta :

Charity donated by Tillman = $3540

Number of employees who donated = 118

Contribution of Tillman = 40%

Let the average contribution of employees be = x

Then the amount contributed by employees = 118x

Then contribution of Tillman = [tex]\frac{40}{100}\times118x[/tex]

As Tillman donated 3540 , then

[tex]3540=\frac{40}{100}\times118x[/tex]

[tex]3540=47.20x[/tex]

[tex]x=75[/tex]

Hence, average contribution by each employee is $75.
