    So story problems always have something that will confuse you. The confusion thing in this is the 40%. All you want to do is multiply 3540 * 1.4 you do that and you get 4956 then its super easy 4956 / 118 = 42 $

    To find out how much the employees donated set up an equation

    3540 =.40x

    Divide both sides by. 4

    x = $8850

    To find the average contribution of the 118 employees, divide the 8850 by 118

    $8850/118 = $75

    The average contribution was $75
