    A. Total amount raised, A, equals 92 sponsors times number of kilometers, n, times $1 per kilometer, plus additional donations, d.

    b. Yes. Write an equation based on the verbal model: A = 92n + d. Substitute the information from the problem into the equation and solve for d: 842 = 92 (8) + d. The amount of money from additional donations is $106.
