Question

Grades 1 through 6 at Eastwood Elementary School raised $5,492 towards repairs for the gymnasium floor. How much did each grade raise if they each collected about the same amount of money? Choose the best estimate

Answer 1

`Each\ Grade = \$915`

Explanation:

Given

`Total = \$5492`

`Grades = 6` i.e. 1 to 6

Required

Determine the amount raised by each grade

From the question, we understand that each grade raised the same amount.

This implies that.

`Each\ Grade = (Total)/(Grades)`

`Each\ Grade = (\$5492)/(6)`

`Each\ Grade = \$915.33333333`

`Each\ Grade = \$915` (approximated)
