Question

11. At Sunnyside Middle School, 16 cheerleaders 1 need to raise a total of $9,500 for a trip. So far, they have raised $8,340. How much money, in dollars, per cheerleader, still needs to be raised for the trip?​

Answer 1

To find out how much money per cheerleader still needs to be raised for the trip, we need to divide the remaining amount by the number of cheerleaders:

Total amount needed = $9,500

Amount raised so far = $8,340

Amount still needed = $9,500 - $8,340 = $1,160

Number of cheerleaders = 16

Amount per cheerleader still needed = $1,160 ÷ 16 = $72.50

Therefore, $72.50 per cheerleader still needs to be raised for the trip.
