Question

A school group is raising money for a trip. The group needs $450 for travel and $325 for food. They have 6 weeks to raise money selling $1 candy bars.
What is the least number of candy bars the group needs to sell each week to afford the trip?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-In total, the amount of money they will need to raise is:

= 450 + 325

= $775

by-step explanation:

They have 6 weeks to raise this money so the amount they have to raise per week is at least:

= 775/6

= $130

The candy bars cost $1 each. They will therefore have to sell a minimum of 130 candy bars each week to afford the trip.
