Question

Giselle's youth club sells cookies to fund their trips and activities. Each year they need to earn $1,247 from selling cookies. For each box of cookies they sell, they make $1.45. If Giselle's club has already made $472.70 from selling cookies, how many more boxes do they need to sell to meet their goal?

Answer 1

Price per box, P = $1.45 .

Money left, M = $1247 - $472.70 = $774.3  .

Let, number of boxes are x.

So,

$x = \dfrac{774.3}{1.45}\\\\x = 534\ boxes$

Therefore, they have to sell 534 more boxes.

Hence, this is the required solution.
