Total value |
32 u + 3200 |
3 u |
35 u + 3200 |
29 u + 3200 |
Amount that the spectators donated
= 32 x (1 u + 100)
= 32 u + 3200
Amount that the performers donated
= 3 x 1 u
= 3 u
Total amount donated
= 32 u + 3200 + 3 u
= 35 u + 3200
35 u + 3200 = 5300
35 u = 5300 - 3200
35 u = 2100
1 u = 2100 ÷ 35 = 60
Total amount donated
= 32 u + 3200 + 3 u
= 35 u + 3200
35 u + 3200 = 5300
35 u = 5300 - 3200
35 u = 2100
1 u = 2100 ÷ 35 = 60
Amount of less money donated by the performers than the spectators
= (32 u + 3200) - 3 u
= 29 u + 3200
= (29 x 60) + 3200
= $4940
Answer(s): $4940
