Question

PLEASE HELPP!!! I"M DESPRITE!!

At a schoolout going, a group decides to go rafting. Each raft holds 8 people and costs $25 for the day. If at least 70 peope go rafting, how much moneywill they need for the rafts??

Answer 1

218.75 dollars to buy rafts

Answer 2

$225

Explanation:

Since each raft hold a maximum of 8 people, divide:

70 ÷ 8 = 8.75

which means that 8.75 rafts will be needed, but since you cannot buy .75 of a raft, round up to 9 rafts, then multiply:

9 × 25 = 225

so, they will need $225 for 9 rafts

Hope this helps :)
