Question

The middle school golf team is selling golf balls to raise $850 for new equipment. They sell golf balls for two dollars each. A case has 24 packs of golf balls. Each pack has six golf balls. How many cases of golf balls does the team need to sell to raise enough money for new equipment.

Answer 1

3 cases

Explanation:

Total Money Needed = $850

Each Golf Ball = $2

Total Balls needed = 850/2 = 425 balls

Case = 24 Pack

Pack = 6 balls

So a Case has:

24 * 6 = 144 balls

They need 425 balls to sell and each case has 144 balls, so number of case needed would be:

425/144 = 2.95

We can't have 2.95 cases, so we round up to 3 cases
