Question

The seventh-grade students need to raise at least $5,000 for their class trip. They were given

$850 by local businesses for the trip, but they have to raise the rest. If there are 83 students,
how much does each student, m, need to raise?

Answer 1

$50

Explanation:

First you subtract 850 from 5000 to find out how much money the students have left to raise. You should get $4150. You then divide 4150 by the 83 students and you find that each student is responsible for raising $50.

Answer 2

5000-850=
$4150 left to raise


$4150/83 students=
$50/student
