cierto artículo. Si la aportación durante el primer mes fue de
$1,000.00 ¿qué cantidad recibió por la venta del artículo men-
cionado?



Answer :

To find out how much was received for selling the mentioned item, we can follow these steps: 1. Calculate how much was contributed to the school construction fund during the first month: $1,000.00 2. Determine how many $150 portions were sold to contribute $1,000.00. 3. Divide the total contribution by the amount contributed per $150 portion to find out how many $150 portions were sold. 4. Multiply the number of $150 portions sold by $150 to get the total amount received for selling the mentioned item. Let's go through the calculations step by step: 1. $1,000.00 was the contribution for the first month. 2. Each $150 sale contributes $3.00. 3. Divide $1,000.00 by $3.00 to find out how many $150 portions were sold. 4. The result will give the number of $150 portions sold. 5. Multiply the number of $150 portions by $150 to find the total amount received for selling the mentioned item.
