Answer 5

(a) It says that she plats to give $20 to her favorite charity for each mile she runs. Which means in order to find out how many miles she has to run before reaching $300 we just need to divide 300/20 which equals 15. Meaning after 15 miles she will have earned $300 to give them!
(b) If she only thinks she can make 10 miles then she needs to ask for at least $30 per mile so she still end with $300 for her favorite charity. Because 30*10=300
