Question

The schools 8 cheerleaders are hosting the homecoming dance. So far, they have raised $317.30. They need $622.42. If each cheerleader raises the same amount, how much more does each cheerleader need to raise?

Answer 1

Answer:

Each cheerleader needs to raise $38.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract the total amount needed by the amount that you already have, which would be $622.42 - $317.30 = $305.12. Then, divide the rest of the money needed by the amount of cheerleaders, which is 305.12 divided by 8 = 38.14. Therefore, each of the cheerleaders needs to raise another $38.14 in order to reach their goal.
