Question

The math club needs to raise more than $552.50 for a trip, the club raised 12% of the funds, what inequality shows how much money each of the 7 club members need to raise if each member raises the same amount?

Answer 1

ok so they raised 12%
12%=12/100=0.12
12% of 552.5=.12 times 552.5=66.3 was raised
552.5-66.3=486.2

divide by 7
486.2/7=69.457 about 69.46

each member must raise at least 69.46
