Question

Ms. Marigneaux's science class needs to

collect $68.00 for science materials for a class
project. In addition, the class will need
$100.00 to pay for an upcoming field trip. If
there are 29 students in the class, what is the
average amount each student must collect?
(Round to the nearest cent.)

Answer 1

If there are 29 students in class and they need to collect a total of 168, we can divide 168 by 29 to get $5.79. This means that each student must collect $5.79 in order for them to be able to purchase everything.
