Question

a sixth grade class of 20 students must raise $298 to go on a field trip. what equation can be used to find m, the amount of money that each student must raise?A.298 - 20 = mB.298 m = 20C.298 (20) = mD.20 m =298

Answer 1

Let's begin by listing out the given information:

Number of students (n) = 20

Amount (a) = $298

The equation that can be used to find the amount of money that each student must raise (m) is given below:

`\begin{gathered} m=(298)/(20) \\ \Rightarrow20\cdot m=2988 \\ \therefore20m=2988 \end{gathered}`

Hence, option D is the correct answer
