Some Girl Guides are raising money for their jamboree. Their goal is to raise $1000, They already have $232 from the bake sales. To raise the remainder, they are planning a walk-a-thon. if each person walking raises $24, how many walkers will the Girl Guides need to reach their goal?

Answer 1

I believe they need 32 walkers.
[correct me if I’m wrong]
why: if their goal is $1000 and they already have $232 you can subtract $232 from $1000 which would leave you with the rest of the money they need: $768. By dividing $768 by $24 (the amount of money they will raise for each person) you’ll end up with 32, being the number of walkers you’ll need because 32x24= $768, the remainder they need.
