Mr. Marvi's Class is fund-raising for a field trip that costs $1254. The school is
giving his class $375 towards the trip. The class decides to fundraise by selling cookie bags for $1.50. If the class had 28 students in it, on average, how many cookie bags will each person
have to sell?

Extra: If each cookie bag cost 20 cents to make, how many additional cookie
bags will the class have to sell to cover the cost of the cookies?

1.50x + 375 = 1254

x = 586

So the class has 28 students and ideally they should all sell a certain amount equally.

so, 586/28 = 20.93 = 21

So in average every student would have to sell 21 bags of cookies

extra:

Just do a new equation

1.5x - 0.20x = 879$

1.3x = 879

x = 676.15 = 676

So they have to sell 676 bags of cookies to cover for the cost of the cookies and for the trip.

81 seats

step-by-step explanation:

if you multiply 0.65 times 125 then you get 81.5 seats. well since you can't have half of a seat you have to round down and get 81 seats in the no children zones. that leave 44 seats outside of the no children zone.
