Question

The members of a basketball team need to raise $895 for new uniforms. They already have $351 from food sales. To raise the remainder, they are planning a shoot-out challenge. If 34 teams sign up, how much must they charge per team to meet their goal of $895?

Answer 1

Subtract what they already have from what they needed:

895 - 351 = 544

They need$544 more.

Divide how much more they need by the number of teams:

544/34 = 16

They need to charge each team $16
