4545?

OpenStudy (beaaaaberry):

That's the amount Beth swam, not the amount Sherry swam

OpenStudy (1davey29):

If Beth swam 4545 laps, they would have raised over $2000... I think you have a typo

OpenStudy (beaaaaberry):

Sorry, Beth swam 4545 the number of laps Sherry did*

OpenStudy (1davey29):

I see that, but we need to know how that relates to the number Sherry swam. Is it more, less, times, etc.
