Question

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

Answer 1

Answer

Each student has to raise $225 on average.

Explanation

The students already saved $1250 out of their goal of $12,500

So, the amount still left to raise is

$12,500 - $1250 = $11,250

Let the amount each student will save on average be x dollars

Since there are 50 students in all, we can solve for x thus

x = ($11,250/50) = $225

Hope this Helps!!!
