A total of 165 people contributed to a charity event as either a donor or a volunteer. 130 people contributed as a donor. How many people contributed as a volunteer?

Accepted Answer

Choice A is correct. It&rsquo;s given that a total of 165 people contributed to a charity event as either a donor or a volunteer. It&rsquo;s also given that 130 people contributed as a donor. It follows that 165 - 130 , or 35 , people contributed as a volunteer. Choice B is incorrect. This is the number of people who contributed as a donor, not a volunteer. Choice C is incorrect. This is the total number of people who contributed as either a donor or a volunteer, not the number of people who contributed as a volunteer. Choice D is incorrect and may result from conceptual or calculation errors.
