Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

We have to find the total amount of more they made

We are told that:

The owner of a shrimp boat receives 1/2 of the total money earned for a fishing trip. On one trip, the owner received $3,500 for his share of the catch.

Let the total amount of money earned be represented by x

Hence, the total amount of money =

1/2 × x = $3500

x/2 =$ 3500

x = $3500 × 2

x =$ 7000.

The total amount of money earned is $7000

Step 2

We find the captain's share

The captain receives 3/10 of the money earned. Hence,

The captain's share is

3/10 × $7000

= $2100

The Captain receives $2100
