Question

A class of students raised $1,000 for charity. Tyler raised $28, Sarah raised $67. How much money did the rest of the class raise for the charity?

a) $905
b) $900
c) $878
d) $923

Answer 1

To calculate the amount raised by the rest of the class, subtract the contributions of Tyler and Sarah from the total amount. Tyler and Sarah raised a total of $95 together, so the rest of the class raised $905.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how much money the rest of the class raised for charity, we need to subtract the amounts that Tyler and Sarah raised from the total amount raised by the class. Content loaded: A class of students raised $1,000 for charity. Tyler raised $28, Sarah raised $67. We subtract the amounts raised by Tyler and Sarah from the total amount:

1. Total raised by the class: $1000
2. Tyler raised: $28
3. Sarah raised: $67
4. Amount raised by the rest of the class = Total raised by the class - (Tyler's contribution + Sarah's contribution)
5. Amount raised by the rest of the class = $1000 - ($28 + $67)
6. Amount raised by the rest of the class = $1000 - $95
7. Amount raised by the rest of the class = $905

So, the correct answer is a) $905.
