Question

The football team is selling hats to raise $425 for a trip they have $175 already if the team member sell the hats for $12 each at least how many hats do they need to sell to make enough money for their trip.

Answer 1

The minimum number of hats which team need to sell t make enough money for the trip is 21 .

Explanation:

Given as :

The money which team needs for the trip = $ 425

The money which team already = $ 175

So, The rest money which team need = $ 425 - $ 175 = $ 250

Now, The sell price for the hats = $ 12

Let The minimum number of hats which team need to sell = x

So, According to question

∵ The rest money which team need = $ 250

The selling price of each hats = $ 12

Or, The minimum number of hats which team need to sell =
`(\textrm Rest money which team needs)/(\textrm The selling price of each hats)`

Or, x =
`(250)/(12)`

∴ x =
`(250)/(12)`

I.e x = 20.8

So, The minimum number of hats need to be sell = 20.8 ≈ 21

Hence The minimum number of hats which team need to sell t make enough money for the trip is 21 . Answer
