Answer:

C. The closest amount which will go to charity and savings is $571.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of the paycheck = $2,285.00

Now, the amount donated to charity  = 5%

Calculating the amount of charity, we get:

5 % of  $2,285.00 = [tex]\frac{5}{100} \times 2,285.00   = 114.25[/tex]

So, the total amount generate to the charity = $114.25  ... (1)

Also amount put in savings = 20%

Calculating the amount of savings, we get:

20 % of  $2,285.00 = [tex]\frac{20}{100} \times 2,285.00   = 457[/tex]

So, the total amount saved = $457  ... (2)

Now, the total amount donated  + saved  =  ( $114.25) + ($457)

                                                                      = $571. 25

Hence, the closest amount which will go to charity and savings is $571.
