Question

Select the inequality that match the situation:

A school fundraiser has a minimum target of $500. Faculty have donated $100 and there
are 12 student clubs that are participating with different activities. How much money
should each club raise to meet the fundraising goal?
12x - 100 > 500
12x +100 > 500
12x- 100 > 500
12x + 100 > 500
12x - 100 < 500
12x + 100 < 500

Answer 1

Each student club must contribute $ 33.33 in order to meet the fundraising goal.

Explanation:

Given that a school fundraiser has a minimum target of $ 500. Faculty have donated $ 100 and there are 12 student clubs that are participating with different activities, to determine how much money should each club raise to meet the fundraising goal, the following calculation must be performed:

(500 - 100) / 12 = X

400/12 = X

33,333 = X

Thus, each student club must contribute $ 33.33 in order to meet the fundraising goal.
