pay for the Homecoming dance. If each cheerleader raises the same
amount, how much more does each cheerleader need to raise?

Answer :

Answer:

Each cheerleader needs to raise 38.14 more

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

They each need to raise $38.14.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, I started off by subtracting 317.30 from 622.42.

(622.42-317.30) This gave us 305.12.

I did this, because we are trying to find the amount of money the cheerleaders have left to make.

Next, we will divide the difference of this equation (305.12) by 8.

We did this because there are 8 cheerleaders, and they all made the same amount of money.

This leaves us with an answer of:

Each cheerleader has exactly $38.14 left to make.
