Question

Fifty students in the seventh grade are trying to raise at least $2000 for sports supplies. They have raised $750. How much should each student raise in average in order to meet the goal?

Answer 1

Answer: $25

Explanation:

Okay so first I took 750 away from the goal of 2000 to see what they have left to earn

2000-750=1250

then I divided 1250 by the 50 students to see how much each student must earn

1250 divided by 50 equals 25

so each of the 50 students need to earn 25 to reach the goal

Answer 2

Each student should raise $25

Explanation:

2000 - 750 = 1,250

1,250 ÷ 50 = 25

Hope this helps :)
