Question

17 student on math team want to raise $483.62. They have already raised $218.25. If each student raises the same amount how much money must each student raise

Answer 1

Answer:

$15.71

Step-by-step explanation:

They have already raised $218.25.

$483.62 - $218.25 = $265.37 left to raise

There are 17 students, so the remaining amount can be divided between them.

$265.37 ÷ 17 students = $15.71 that each student needs to raise

You can check this by multiplying $15.71 by 17.
