Question

There are 50 members in the school Robotics Club. The Robotics Club needs to raise $5,000 for a trip to a national competition. The school agreed to contribute $1,000 toward the trip. How much money does each Robotic Club member needs to raise to help pay for the trip? (write numeric answer only)

Answer 1

Each has to pay $80
5000$-1000$ =4000$ ( which is paid by school is deducted)
So 4000$ is divided by 50 students
i.e. 4000/50 = 80$

Answer 2

Each person needs to raise $80

Explanation:

The club needs $5000 total for the tip, and they have already raised $1000, then they only need to raise $4000 more.

$4000 raised by 50 people can be calculated with:

`(4000)/(50) = (400)/(5) = (80)/(1)`

Each person needs to raise $80
