Question

the chess club has 50 members. they want to raise $680 for a trip to a competition. The school will give $130. how much must each member pay?

Answer 1

680-130=550 550 / 50=11 They each must pay $11

Answer 2

So you take 680 - 130 to find how much the club members in total will need to raise ~ 680 - 130 = 550

Then you take 550 divided by the number of members, 50, to find how much each person needs to raise ~ 550 / 50 = 11

So each member of the chess club will need to raise $11
