Question

There are 8 volunteers at a telethon.The goal for the evening is to raise $952.If each volunteer raises the same amount ,what is the minimum amount each needs to raise to meet the goal?

Answer 1

The minimum amount each volunteer needs to raise to meet the goal is $119

Solution-

The goal or total amount of money needed to be raised = $952

The number of volunteers at the telethon = 8

As the volunteer raises the same amount, so the minimum amount each needs to raise to meet the goal is,

`=\frac{\text{total amount}}{\text{number of volunteers}}`

`=(952)/(8)`

`=119`

Therefore, the minimum amount each volunteer needs to raise to meet the goal is $119.
