Tree Elementary School is raising money for a new playground. Mrs. Johnson’s class raised $2300, which is twice the amount that Mrs. Sutton’s class raised. Mrs. Sutton’s class raised 8 times less than Miss Rollin’s class. Miss Rollin’s class raised a third of the total amount raised by the school. How much money did the school raise for the playground if 2% will be deducted for administration fees?
A step-by-step solution is:
27048
Find the amount Mrs.

Sutton’s class raised by dividing $2300 by 2.

$2300 / 2 = $1150.

Find the amount Miss Rollin’s class raised by multiplying $1150 by 8.

$1150 x 8 = $9200.

Multiply $9200 by 3 to find the total amount raised.

$9200 x 3 = $27600.

Convert 2% to decimal.

2 / 100 = 0.

02.

Multiply $27600 by 0.

02 to find the administration fees.

$27600 x 0.

02 = $552.

Subtract the administration fee from the total amount raised.

$27600 - $552 = $27048.

.

The answer is 27048
