Symbolic Migration Monarch Math: Solution Question: If each paper butterfly carried an equal amount of conservation money to Mexico how much would each of the 65,565 butterflies carry? Solution: We sent 65,565 symbolic butterflies to Mexico along with $13,924 for conservation work. To solve: Divide 13,924 by 65,565. This equals 21.23 cents. Picture This! Each little paper ambassador symbolically carried with it about a 21¢ contribution on its journey south!
