Megan inherits $\$ 1000000$ and Dan inherits $\$ 10000$. Each donates $10 \%$ of his or her inheritance to charity. In total, they donate
(A) $\$ 101000$
(B) $\$ 110000$
(C) $\$ 100000$
(D) $\$ 11000$
(E) $\$ 10100$
Solution 1

In total Megan and Dan inherit $\$ 1010000$.

Since each donates $10 \%$, then the total donated is $10 \%$ of $\$ 1010000$, or $\$ 101000$.

## Solution 2

Megan donates $10 \%$ of $\$ 1000000$, or $\$ 100000$.

Dan donates $10 \%$ of $\$ 10000$, or $\$ 1000$.

In total, they donate $\$ 100000+\$ 1000=\$ 101000$.
