Question

The youth group divides the profit evenly between the 15 members how much does each member now have toward the cost of the trip? Did the Group meet its goal? Notice that they aim to earn $405 and the price per dozen is $3.50.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the following table:

According to this table, they sold a total of 69 dozens. Now, if the cost per dozen is $3.50, the total profit would be:

`69\text{ x \$3.50 = \$241.5}`

according to this, if this profit is distributed in 15 equal parts, we obtain that each person obtains:

`(241.5)/(15)=16.1\text{ }`

Notice that if they aim to earn a total profit of $405 then they did not achieve this goal since they obtained a total profit of $241.5.

Thus, we can conclude that the correct answer is:

Answer:

1. how much does each member now have toward the cost of the trip?

$16.1

2. Did the Group meet its goal?
