The art club is having a fundraiser to buy a new art supplies. they want to raise at least $1,567 There are 32 students in the art club, and there is currently $287 in their art Supply fund. The Students have decided to divide the remaining financial need equally. How much will each student need to raise to meet the goal?

Answer 1

First, since the students already have $287 in their fund, then the remaining money that they want to raise is:

`1567-287=1280`

then, since there are 32 of them, we can divide this number by 32 to get:

`(1280)/(32)=40`

thus, each student need $40 to meet the goal
