Question

Mr. Smith's class has 28 students. They all put in an equal amount of money to get Mr. Smith an end of year gift. If they collected $168 altogether, how much money did each student give. For each question, define a variable (Let statement), write and solve an equation

Answer 1

Explanation:

28 students all give $128

so,

`\sqrt[28]{128}`= v v=6

Each student gave 6 dollars. This is true due to the fact that

`\sqrt[28]{128}`=6

28X6=128
