Question

Solve the problem and enter your solution for the variable below. Do not include units in your answer.

Answer 1

Let c represent the contribution of each student. If all 12 students contribute equally to the sum of $30, then you have

... 12c = 30

Dividing this equation by 12 will get c by itself.

... c = 30/12 = 2.50

Each student must contribute 2.50.
