Question

Band students of West High School are fundraising for new uniforms. They earn $2 for every candy

bar sold. If someone purchases a candy basket, the band earns $10. If they need to earn $3400, and
have already sold 20 candy baskets, how many candy bars does each band student need to sell if
there are 30 people in the band?

Answer 1

Each band student needs to sell around 54 candy bars.

Explanation:

20 candy baskets sold multipled by 10 is 200. $3,400- $200= $3,200 ÷ $2 = 1,600÷ 30 band members= 53.3 so you round up to 54 candy bars. Hope this helps
