Question

Jessie is participating in a walkathon to raise

Answer 1

Jessie needs 27 supporters in order to reach his goal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Amount to be collected by Jessie = $150

Jessie's contribution = $15

Amount to be asked from each person = $5

Let,

x be the number of people who contribute.

Jessie's contribution + 5*Number of people who contribute = Total amount

15+5x=150

Subtracting 15 from both sides

$15-15+5x=150-15\\5x=135$

Dividing both sides by 5

$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{135}{5}\\x=27$

Jessie needs 27 supporters in order to reach his goal.
