Let's calculate the total cost of all the items purchased by the computer club:

Cost of 14 portfolios = 14 * $24.59

Cost of 14 binders = 14 * $12.92

Cost of 14 school sweatshirts = 14 * $14.00

Cost of 14 music cases = 14 * $1.25

Cost of 14 phone cases = 14 * $1.99

Cost of 14 mouse pads = 14 * $2.14

Total cost of all items = Cost of 14 portfolios + Cost of 14 binders + Cost of 14 school sweatshirts + Cost of 14 music cases + Cost of 14 phone cases + Cost of 14 mouse pads

Plugging in the given values:

Total cost of all items = (14 * $24.59) + (14 * $12.92) + (14 * $14.00) + (14 * $1.25) + (14 * $1.99) + (14 * $2.14)

Now, the computer club will pay for 40% of the total cost. To calculate this, we can multiply the total cost by 40% (or 0.40):

Club's payment = 0.40 * Total cost of all items

The remaining cost will be divided equally among the 14 members:

Remaining cost per member = (Total cost of all items - Club's payment) / 14

Plugging in the values and calculating:

Club's payment = 0.40 * ((14 * $24.59) + (14 * $12.92) + (14 * $14.00) + (14 * $1.25) + (14 * $1.99) + (14 * $2.14))

Remaining cost per member = ((14 * $24.59) + (14 * $12.92) + (14 * $14.00) + (14 * $1.25) + (14 * $1.99) + (14 * $2.14) - Club's payment) / 14

So, each member of the computer club will owe the calculated value for "Remaining cost per member".

Hope this is good
