Question

The members of a basketball team need to

raise $895 for new uniforms. They already
have $351 from food sales. To raise the
remainder, they are planning a shoot-out
challenge. If 34 teams sign up, how much
must they charge per team to meet their
goal?

Answer 1

$16

Explanation:

First subtract $351 from $895 to find the dollar amount we're considering.

($895 - $351 = $544)

Then, divide the 34 teams into the $544 to yield the dollar amount each team should be charged. ($544 / 34 = $16)
