the eighth grade students are selling magazine subscriptions to raise money for a class trip. they earn $3 for every subscription they sell. so far, they have earned $228 of the $396 needed. how many more subscriptions must the students sell to meet their goal?

(396 - 228) / 3 = ?

U must use PEMDAS

First do what's in parenthesis (396-228) = 168
Then divide 168/3 = 56

To find out how many more magazine subscriptions the students need to sell to meet their goal, we need to determine the difference between the amount they have earned so far and the total amount needed.

The amount earned so far is $228, and the total amount needed is $396. To find the difference, we subtract the amount earned from the total amount needed:

Total amount needed - Amount earned so far = $396 - $228 = $168

Since each magazine subscription earns them $3, we can divide the remaining amount needed by the earnings per subscription:

$168 ÷ $3 = 56

Therefore, the eighth-grade students need to sell 56 more magazine subscriptions to meet their fundraising goal.
