Question

a group of 3 teachers sell homecoming t- shirts. They sell 58 t- shirts for 12.50 each. If they split the amount of money evenly, how much did each teacher make?

Answer 1

About $241.66

Explanation:

Because the teachers sold 58 t-shirts for $12.50 each, multiply the amount of shirts sold by the price of each shirt to get the total amount of money that they made.

58 × 12.50 = 725

To find how much each teacher made, divide the total price by the number of teachers.

725 ÷ 3 = 241.66

Each teacher made about $241.66.
