chris is selling chocolate for a fundraiser and if he sells over $115 worth of candy, he'll win a prize. If chocolates sell for $57 and chris has already sold $28.75 worth of candy, then how many more does he have to sell in order to win a prize
(115 - 28.75)/57
To find out how many more chocolates Chris needs to sell in order to win a prize, we can follow a few simple steps.
Step 1: Calculate the remaining amount Chris needs to sell to reach the target of $115.
Remaining amount = Target amount - Amount already sold
Remaining amount = $115 - $28.75
Remaining amount = $86.25
Step 2: Determine the number of chocolates Chris needs to sell to reach the remaining amount.
Number of chocolates = Remaining amount / Price per chocolate
Number of chocolates = $86.25 / $57
Number of chocolates ≈ 1.51 (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Since Chris cannot sell a fraction of a chocolate, we need to round up the number of chocolates to the nearest whole number. Therefore, Chris needs to sell at least 2 more chocolates in order to win a prize.
