Question

There are 130 members in the school marching band. The band wants to raise $25,000 for a trip to a national competition. The school agreed to contribute $6,000 towards the trip. Which inequality shows the amount of money that each band member should raise?

Answer 1

The equation shows the amount of money that each band member should raise is
`6000+130x =25000`

Explanation:

The band wants to raise the amount for a trip to a national competition = $25000

Let x be the amount raised by each band member

No. of members in school marching band = 130

So, Amount raised by 130 members = 130x

The school agreed to contribute $6,000 towards the trip.

So, Total amount raised = 6000+130x

So, ATQ

So, Equation : 6000+130x =25000

Hence The equation shows the amount of money that each band member should raise is
`6000+130x =25000`
