The choir needs to raise $2,620.00 for a trip to the state competition. They are selling sets of candles for $25.00 per set. They have already raised $1,225.00 from the fundraiser.
The band needs to raise $2,400.00 to pay for a trip to the state capital to participate in a parade. They are selling 3-gallon tubs of caramel popcorn for $18.25 each. They have already raised $1,314.00 from the fundraiser.

Answer:

1086/18.25 = 59.51

60 more tubs of popcorn to reach their target.

Step-by-step explanation:

OK, here we go. Golf Club first

You subtract the total amount they need to raise, by the amount they already have:

2620 - 1225 = $1395.00 to go

Divide that number by the price of golf balls to find out how many more they need:

1395/25 = 55.8

This means that they need to sell at least 56 golf balls to meet the target.

Now to the Percussion Club...

Do the same thing again:

2400 - 1314 = $1086 to go

1086/18.25 = 59.51

So the percussion club needs to sell at lest 60 more tubs of popcorn to reach their target.
