Question

A sign language club made $627.50 from selling popcorn at a festival. The popcorn cost the club $95.00. Which expression represents the amount of money that was raised for each member of the club? (Let the variable m be the number of members in the club.)

Answer 1

(627.50-95)/m

Explanation:

The total value of money earned was $627.50. Then subtract the amount of money the popcorn cost, $95.00. This subtraction would make the difference of $532. This equation would be in parentheses because you have to get the difference before you can divide the profits among the club members. After you put that into parentheses, divide the difference by M. This will give you the equation (627.50-95.00)/m hope this helps!
