Question

5 A soccer team wants to raise money for new uniforms. So far, each of the 14 team members has raised $12.62. The uniforms will cost $304.30. How much money does the soccer team still need to collect in order to purchase new uniforms?

Answer 1

The soccer team has 14 team members.

Since each of those 14 members raised $12.62, first, we need to find how much money have the 14 members raised. For this, we multiply 14 by the amount that each one raised $12.62:

`14*12.62`

Solving this multiplication we get:

`14*12.62=176.68`

The 14 members of the team have raised $176.68.

Since they need $304.30 for the uniforms, to find how much money they still need to collect in order to purchase the new uniforms, we subtract the money they already have to the total cost of the uniforms:

`304.30-176.68=127.62`

They still need to collect $127.62

Answer: $127.62
