If you would like to know how much money did they collect in total, you can calculate this using the following steps:


Travis ... t = $43

Jessica ... j

Robin ... r


120% of j is t

120% j = 43

120/100
j = 43

j = 43 100 / 120

j = $35.83


r = 135% of t = 135%
43 = 135/100 * 43
= $58.05


t + j + r = $43 + $35.83 + $58.05 = $136.88

The correct result would be C. $136.88.
