Question

the 17 students on the math team want to raise $483.62 to buy practice books. they have already raised $218.25 . if each raises the same amouth , how much more money must each student raise

Answer 1

$15.61

Explanation:

Number of students = 17

Total amount to be raised = $483.62

Amount already raised = $218.25

So, amount remained to be raised

= Total amount to be raised - amount already raised

= $483.62 - $218.25

= $265.37

Each student raises the same amount.

So, amount to be raised by each student

= Amount remained to be raised / Number of students

= $265.37 / 17

= $15.61
