Ms. Coleman's class has already collected 403 cans for a food drive, but the class wants to collect a total of at least 1,000 cans. If each of the 28 students in the class brings an equal number of cans, how many more cans should each student bring for the class to have collected at least 1,000 cans?
21.32
To find out how many more cans each student should bring, we need to determine how many cans are needed to reach the goal of at least 1,000 cans.
Currently, there are 403 cans collected. We need to find the difference between 1,000 cans and 403 cans to determine how many more cans are needed.
The difference between 1,000 and 403 is 597 cans.
Since there are 28 students in the class, we need to divide the difference by the number of students to find out how many more cans each student should bring.
597 cans / 28 students = 21.32 cans per student (rounded to the nearest whole number)
Therefore, each student should bring at least 22 more cans to ensure that the class has collected at least 1,000 cans.
why do yal give false answers when its 21.734
(1000 - 403)/28 = _________ collected by each student
403 + 28x => 1000.
28x => 1000-403,
X => 21.3 Cans.
