Today, she collected $36 more in donations.How much money does Candice have in her collection jar?$___________
Identify total donations: First, let's identify the total donations Candice collected today. She collected $36 more today, so we add this to the initial amount of 10+d dollars in the jar.
Find value of extit{d}: Now, we need to find the value of extit{d}, which represents the additional donations Candice collected before today. Since the total amount collected today is extit{ extdollar}36, we set up the equation for the total donations before today.
Substitute value back: Substitute the value of d back into the expression for the total amount in the jar.
