Sure, let's break down the problem step-by-step to find the solution.
1. Identify the contributions from each branch:
- The first branch contributes Rs. 35,500 per year.
- The second branch contributes Rs. 18,500 per year.
2. Identify the time duration for each contribution:
- The first branch has been contributing for 12 years.
- The second branch has been contributing for 8 years.
3. Calculate the total contribution from each branch:
- For the first branch:
[tex]\( \text{Total contribution from the first branch} = \text{Contribution per year} \times \text{Number of years} \)[/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Total contribution from the first branch} = 35,500 \times 12
\][/tex]
- For the second branch:
[tex]\( \text{Total contribution from the second branch} = \text{Contribution per year} \times \text{Number of years} \)[/tex]
[tex]\[
\text{Total contribution from the second branch} = 18,500 \times 8
\][/tex]
4. Sum the total contributions from both branches to get the overall contribution:
[tex]\[
\text{Total contribution} = \text{Total contribution from the first branch} + \text{Total contribution from the second branch}
\][/tex]
Let's perform the calculations:
- First branch total contribution:
[tex]\[
35,500 \times 12 = 426,000
\][/tex]
- Second branch total contribution:
[tex]\[
18,500 \times 8 = 148,000
\][/tex]
- Overall total contribution:
[tex]\[
426,000 + 148,000 = 574,000
\][/tex]
So, after performing the computations step-by-step, we find that the school has contributed a total of Rs. 574,000 to the charity fund.
