Question

The Nature Club collected donations to plant flowers around the school. The 7 members of the club collected $20 on Monday and $15 on Tuesday. Each member collected the same amount of money. How much money did each member collect? Choose the answer that shows the correct two steps to solve the problem.

Answer 1

Given:

Total members = 7

Amount collected by the club on Monday = $20

Amount collected by the club on Tuesday = $15

To find the amount of money each member collected, use the formula below:

$\text{Amount collected by each = }\frac{Total\text{ amount}}{\text{Total members}}$

Total amount collected by the club = $20 + $15 = $35

Thus, we have:

$\text{Amount collected by each = }\frac{35}{7}=5$

Therefore, each member of the club collected $5.

ANSWER:

$5
