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
