craft fair\
funds raised.\
$252.60\
bake sale\
funds raised.\
$ ?

Explanation:

Step1: Find total funds raised

The charity receives $\frac{1}{3}$ of total funds, and that amount is $\$137.45$. Let total funds be $T$. So $\frac{1}{3}T = 137.45$. Solve for $T$: $T = 137.45\times3 = 412.35$.

Step2: Find bake sale funds

Craft fair raised $\$252.60$. Let bake sale funds be $B$. Total funds $T = 252.60 + B$. So $B = T - 252.60 = 412.35 - 252.60 = 159.75$.

Answer:

The bake sale raised $\$159.75$.
