Solution

To calculate the amount Jake should donate this month, we need to find out what 15% of his usual donation is and then add that to his usual donation.

Step 1: Calculate 15% of 20.Todothis,wemultiply20. To do this, we multiply 20 by 15% (or 0.15 in decimal form).

200.15=20 * 0.15 = 3

Step 2: Add the result to his usual donation. 20(usualdonation)+20 (usual donation) + 3 (15% of usual donation) = $23

So, Jake should donate $23 to the SPCA this month.
