Answer:

C: $240

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much of Emma's fundraiser earnings she spent, we need to first calculate 20% of $300, which represents the amount she donated to charity.

20% of $300 can be calculated as:

[tex] 20\% \times \$300 = \dfrac{20}{\cancel{100}} \times \$\cancel{300 }_3= 20\times \$3 = \$60 [/tex]

So, Emma donated $60 to charity.

Now, to find out how much of her fundraiser earnings she spent, we subtract the amount she donated from the total amount she collected:

[tex] \$300 - \$60 = \$240 [/tex]

Therefore, Emma spent $240 of her fundraiser earnings.

So, the correct answer is:

C: $240
