Question

The Peak Library Book Club was doing a bake sale. Their goal was $550 for the entire week. The sale has lasted 4 days so far and each day they raised about $135.50. Will they make their goal by day 4? If not, how much do they need on day 5 to meet it?

Answer 1

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

Since their goal was $550 for the entire week and the sale has lasted 4 days already and each day they raised about $135.50, the amount raised for the 4 days will be:

= $135.50 × 4

= $542.00

No, they won't make their goal by the 4th day.

The amount needed on the 5th day will be:

= $550 - $542

= $8

They'll need $8 on the 5th day.
