Question:
Ana participated in a charity walk. She raised $0.25 for each 1/2 mile that she walked.The first day Ana walked 11 miles.The second day, she walked 14 miles.How much money did Ana raised?
Answer:
Ana raised $ 12.5
Solution:
From given question,
First day walk = 11 miles
Second day walk = 14 miles
Let us first calculate the total distance she walked
Total distance = first day walk + second day walk
Total distance = 11 + 14 = 25 miles
Thus she walked for 25 miles
Given that,
She raised $0.25 for each 1/2 mile that she walked
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \text{ mile} = 0.25 \text{ dollars }[/tex]
Therefore, for 1 mile we get,
[tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 2 \text{ mile} = 0.25 \times 2 \text{ dollars }\\\\1 \text{ mile } = 0.5 \text{ dollars }[/tex]
Now calculate for 25 miles
[tex]25 \text{ mile } = 25 \times 0.5 = 12.5 \text{ dollars }[/tex]
Thus she raised $ 12.5
