Answers
Answer:
The average amount raised kerry per item = 6.140 ( approximately )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the items which are sold by kerry
115 pins, 3$ each ⇒ the total fund raised by pins = 3 × 115 = 345 $
214 ribbons, 4$ each ⇒ total fund raised by ribbons = 4×214= 856$
85 coffee mugs, 7$ each ⇒ total fund raised by coffee mug= 85×7= 595$
347 baseball hats, 9$ each ⇒ total fund raised by hats = 347×9 = 3,123 $
the total fund raised = 345 + 856+ 595+ 3,123 = 4,919
the total number of items
= 155 + 214+ 85+ 347 = 801 ( total number of each item )
the average amount raised per item
= total amount raised ÷ number of items
= 4,919÷ 801 = 6.140 ( approximately )
