Answer 1

Each of the members must raise at least $69.46.

To start they need to raise $552.50. However, they have already raised 12% of it. They only need to raise 88% of it.

552.50 x 0.88 = 486.2

Divide the remaining amount by 7 to determine how much each individual must raise.

486.2 / 7 = 69.46
