Question

A bake sale committee wants to raise $162 for a donation to a local charity. They set aside $12 of their profit at the end of each day. How many days will it take them to raise enough money for the whole donation

Answer 1

It would take them 13.5 days to raise enough money.

Explanation:

In order to find the answer, you just have to take the amount of money they want to raise, which is $162, and divide it by the amount of money they save each day, or $12. In this case that would be dividing 162/12 giving you an answer of 13.5 days.
