Mr. Wright has a class of 15 students. He can spend $23 on each student to buy math supplies for the year. He first buys all of his students calculators, which costs a total of $69.45. After buying the calculators, how much does he have left to spend on each student?
(15 * 23) - 69.45 = x
x/15 = ?
To find out how much Mr. Wright has left to spend on each student after buying the calculators, we need to subtract the cost of the calculators from the total amount he can spend.
The total amount Mr. Wright has to spend on each student is $23. To find how much Mr. Wright has remaining, we subtract the cost of the calculators ($69.45) from the total amount he can spend.
$23 - $69.45 = -$46.45
The result is -$46.45, which means that Mr. Wright has overspent by $46.45. This implies that he does not have anything left to spend on each student after buying the calculators. In fact, he has exceeded the total budget and needs to find an additional source of funding if he wishes to buy additional math supplies for the year.
