Yes. You can say this because you earned 128 for charity and you paid for the washing materials before you started the car wash not with the money you got from donations.

Hey there!

The correct answer would be no, you cannot say you have earned 128 dollars for charity.

In the problem given, keep in mind, you are donating the amount of profit, or financial gain, to the charity. This means that any additional costs you pay yourself would be subtracted from the amount you earn.

Knowing that you spent $15 on materials for the car wash, $15 must be subtracted from $128, the amount you have earned, in order to find the amount of money you have left to donate to charity.

When you do this, you are left with $113 of profit. This would be the actual amount being given to the charity.

Therefore, you cannot say you have raised $128 for charity.

Hope this helps and have a marvelous day! :)
