Answer:

$59.96

Explanation:

Given:

The science club has raised $154. 24 to buy food for a polar bear cub at the zoo.

It costs $53.55 to feed the cub each week.

Question asked:

How much more money does the club need to raise to feed the cub for one month (four weeks)?

Solution:

Cost of feed for the cub for 1 week = $53.55

Cost of feed for the cub for 4 weeks = $53.55
* 4 = $214.20

Money raised by the science club = $154. 24

More money needed by science club = Cost of feed for 4 weeks - Money raised by the science club

More money needed by science club = $214.20 - $154. 24

= $59.96

Thus, the science club will be needed $59.96 more money for one month (four weeks) feed.
