Question

fifty students are trying to raise 12,500 dollars for a class trip they have already raised 1,250 dollars how much should each student raise, on average, in order to meet the goal? write and solve a two-step inequality for this problem.

Answer 1

Answer:

Begin by subtracting the amount that they already have made from the total needed, making: 12,500−1,0250=11,250.

So, the amount needed to raise more is $11,250, and we have 50 students. To make the amount needed for the trip, divide the amount needed by each student, for the amount needed to raise by each student. 1125050=225

Each student must make $225 for the trip to happen.
