1. **State the problem:** A company donates 7.20 each time a social media post is shared. The post is shared 2731 times. The total donation is divided evenly among 4 charities. We need to find how much each charity receives. 2. **Write the formula:** Total donation = (donation per share) \times (number of shares) Amount per charity = \frac{\text{Total donation}}{4} 3. **Calculate total donation:** $$\text{Total donation} = 7.20 \times 2731$$ 4. **Calculate amount per charity:** $$\text{Amount per charity} = \frac{7.20 \times 2731}{4}$$ 5. **Simplify the fraction:** $$= \frac{\cancel{7.20} \times 2731}{\cancel{4}} \times \frac{1}{1}$$ Since 7.20 and 4 do not have common factors to cancel directly, we calculate stepwise. 6. **Calculate total donation:** $$7.20 \times 2731 = 19663.20$$ 7. **Divide total donation by 4:** $$\frac{19663.20}{4} = 4915.80$$ **Final answer:** Each charity receives **4915.80**.
