Question

The middle school basketball team is selling t-shirts for $12.50 each to raise money for new uniforms. They have already sold 40 t-shirts. If they need to raise a total of at least $850, how many more t-shirts does the team need to sell?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

given:

$12.50- the price of the tshirts

40- the tshirts they have sold

$850- the raise they need

solve:

$12.50 × 40 = $500 (the price of tshirts and tshirts they have sold)

$850 - $500 = $350 (the raise they need and the money they have so far from the 40 tshirts they have sold)

$350 ÷ $12.50 = 28 (the money they lack and the price of a tshirt)

answer:

thus, they need to sell 28 more tshirts to have the raise of at least $850

hope this helps, good luck! :)

Answer 2

They need to sell 28 more
