Question

The students in a club are selling flowerpots to raise money. Each flowerpot sells for $15.

Part B

The goal of the students in the club was to raise $500. They sold 43 flowerpots. By what amount did the students exceed their goal of raising $500? Show or explain all your work.

Multiply the price per flowerpot to the amount sold: 15(43) = 645

They made $645, exceeding by $145 because 645-500=145
