Question

The 17 students on the math team want to raise $483.62 to buy practice books they have already raised $218.25 of each students raises the same amount how much more money must each student raise

Answer 1

Each stuydent must raise $15.61 to reach their goal.

Explanation:

Their goal is 483.62, but they already have 218.25 so we subtract,

483.62 - 218.25 = 265.37

Since there are 17 students and they raise the same amount we need to divide by the amount of students to find out how much money each of them need to raise to add up to their goal.

265.37/17 = $15.61
