A group of 6 people at an elementary school gave a total of $1,890 to a town to fix up a playground.Each person gave the same am
ount.At a middle school,5 people each gave $280 to the same town.How much more did each person at the elementary school give than each person at the middle school?
To figure this out, you will start with the total amount contributed by the elementary school people and divide it between the 6. This gives us the amount of each donation.
1. 1890/6= $315
2. Subtract the amount you got for #1 and 280.
315-280= $35
Each person at the elementary school level gave $35 more.
