Question

The math club needs to raise at least $552.50 for a trip to state

competition. The club has raised 12% of the funds. Members want
to find out how much they each need to raise to make up the
difference.

Which inequality shows how much money each of the 7
club members need to raise if each member raises the same
amount?

A. m < $69.46
B. m > $69.46
C. m < $72.35
D. m > $72.35

Answer 1

ok so they raised 12%

12%=12/100=0.12

12% of 552.5=.12 times 552.5=66.3 was raised

552.5-66.3=486.2

divide by 7

486.2/7=69.457 about 69.46

each member must raise at least 69.46
