The 83 members of the newman middle
school band are trying to raise at least
$5,000 to buy new percussion
instruments. they have already raised
$850. how much should each student still
raise, on average, to meet the goal?

$50/student.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 83 members of the Newman Middle school have already raised $850 of the total $5,000 needed to buy new percussion instruments. To find out how much is left to raise, we must subtract that $850 from the total $5,000 needed, which leaves us with $4,150.

The question is asking us how much should each student raise on average to meet the goal. They tell us there are 83 members, and we know, from our calculations, that there are $4,150 left to raise. Thus, we can divide the $4,150 by the 83 members to find our answer of how much money each student, on average, will have to raise.

4,150/83 = 50. Hence, each student will have to still raise, on average, $50 to meet the goal of $5,000.

the terms of a geometric sequence can be found by beginning with the first term and multiplying by the common ratio repeatedly. a recursive formula for a geometric sequence with common ratio r is given by an=ran−1 a n = r a n − 1 for n≥2 n ≥ 2 .
