Answer: A softball player will need to raise more.

Step-by-step explanation:

The softball team needs to raise $318.12 among the twelve girls on the team. Each softball player needs to raise:

$318.12 ÷ 12 = $26.51

The hockey team needs to raise $391.92 among the 24 boys on the team. Each hockey player will raise:

$391.92 ÷ 24 = $16.33

A softball player will raise $26.51 while a hockey player will raise $16.33. Therefore, a softball player will need to raise more.
