Question

The 12 cheerleaders at Cypress Middle School want to earn money to buy new uniforms. They need a total of $1200. A local business donated $419.40 towards the cost of the uniforms. If each cheerleader earns the same amount, how much more money must each cheerleader earn?

$134.95
$34.95
$65.05
$100.00

Answer 1

65.05 all you have to do is take 1200-419.40=780.06 then take one of the number they gave you and divide it by 780.06

Answer 2

$65.05
1200 - 419.40 = 780.6
780.6 / 12 = 65.05
