Question

The student council raised $2,790 during its annual fundraiser. The money was shared equally among the Events Committee, the Sports Committee, and the Sunshine Committee. a. The Sports Committee wants to use its share of the money to purchase t-shirts. If each t-shirt costs $12, what is the greatest number of t-shirts the Sports Committee can purchase? Can you help me with this please

Answer 1

76 t-shirts

Explanation:

The computation of the highest number of t-shirts purchased by the sports committee is as follows:

Since it is given that there is a fund of $2,790 among three committee that shared equally

That means

= $2,790 ÷ 3 committees

= $930 each

Now the sports committee wants to use its share for purchasing the t-shirt

And, if cost of each t-shirt is $12

So, the highest number of t-shirt purchase is

= $930 ÷ $12

= 77.5

= 76 t-shirts
