Answer:each student should raise more than $40

Explanation:

Let x represent the amount of money that each student should raise in order for the group to meet their goal.

25 students are trying to raise above $1200 for a food bank. They have already raised $200. This means

25x + 200 > 1200

25x > 1200 - 200

25x > 1000

x > 1000/25

x > $40
