as a fundraiser students had to raise $1200. They will sell popcorn,at the games history shows that there are usually 120 bags of popcorn sold each game. How much money should they charge if they work 6 games.
To find out how much money the students should charge for each bag of popcorn, we need to determine the total amount they need to raise ($1200) and divide it by the number of bags sold per game (120) and the number of games they are working (6).
Step 1: Calculate the total number of bags of popcorn sold over 6 games.
Number of bags sold per game = 120
Number of games = 6
Total number of bags sold = Number of bags sold per game × Number of games
Total number of bags sold = 120 × 6 = 720
Step 2: Calculate the amount they need to charge per bag of popcorn.
Total amount needed to be raised = $1200
Amount charged per bag = Total amount needed to be raised ÷ Total number of bags sold
Amount charged per bag = $1200 ÷ 720 = $1.67 (rounded to two decimal places)
Therefore, the students should charge $1.67 for each bag of popcorn if they are working 6 games in order to raise $1200.
