Question

The seventh graders at your school have collected 345 cans for the canned food drive and are averaging 115 cans per day. The eighth graders have collected 255 cans, but vow to win the contest by collecting an average of 130 cans per day. If both grades continue collecting at these rates, after how many days will the number of cans they have collected be equal?

Answer 1

Answer:

6 days until the cans collected between the 7th and 8th graders will be equal

Step-by-step explanation:

345 + 115 x 7 = 1035

255 + 130 x 7 = 1035
