The leukemia and lymphoma society sponsors a 5k race to raise money it receives $55 per race entry and $10000 in donations but i
LuckyWell [14K]
<span>n >= 1125 First, make an equation to express the money raised after expenses. 55n - 15n + 10000 = m The above expression can be read as "55 dollars per running is raised, but 15 dollars is spent per running to support them. Plus we get 10000 as a constant regardless of how many runner we have." Now convert that to an inequality for at least 55000 to be raised. 55n - 15n + 10000 >= 55000 Now solve for n 55n - 15n + 10000 >= 55000 40n + 10000 >= 55000 40n >= 45000 n >= 1125 So there needs to be at least 1125 runners in order to meet the goal of $55,000.</span>

Joy is reading a 352-page novel for her summer reading project. On Monday she reads 3/8 of the novel. On Tuesday she reads 28 pa
kakasveta [241]

Answer: 104 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

On 1/4 is actually 2/8  so on Monday and Wednesday together she read 3/8 + 2/8 = 5/8 of the 352 pages and 5/8 x 352 = 220.

Tuesday she read 28 pages so  she has read 220 + 28 = 248 pages.

She must read 352 -248 = 104 pages more
