Question

Mr. Thompson has a class of 14 students. He can spend $25 on each student to buy math supplies for the year. He first buys all of his students calculators,

which costs a total of $84. 14. After buying the calculators, how much does he have left to spend on each student?

Answer 1

$18.99 for each student

Explanation:

First we need to find out how much he spent on each student for the calculators.

We can do that by dividing 84.14, the total, by the number of students, 14:

84.14/14 = 6.01

He spent 6.01 on each student and has 25 for each student, so we can subtract that:

25 - 6.01 = 18.99

Answer 2

he has $6 left.
