Answer:

$9.86

Step-by-step explanation:

First, write both numbers in the same form. Convert 8

1

2

to a decimal.

8

1

2

= 8+

1

2

= 8+

1×5

2×5

= 8+

5

10

= 8+0.5

= 8.5

Multiply.

11.6

× 8.5

580

+ 9280

98.60

Kendra earned $98.60 last week.

Now multiply to find how much money Kendra donated to the charity last week. She earned $98.60, and she donates  

1

10

of her earnings each week.

First, write both numbers in the same form. Convert  

1

10

to a decimal.

1

=0.1

Multiply.

98.6

× 0.1

9.86

Kendra donated $9.86 to the charity last week.
