Based on the table, the club raises $21.25 per every 5 boxes. This is equivalent to $4.25 per box (21.25/5). Therefore, if they have sold 960 boxes, they have raised 960 * $4.25 = $4080.00. So, the club raised $4,080.00 for the trip.
To determine how much money the club raised, we need to calculate the total amount for each number of candle boxes sold and then sum them up.
The amount raised for selling 5 candle boxes is $21.25.
The amount raised for selling 15 candle boxes is $63.75.
The amount raised for selling 25 candle boxes is $106.25.
The amount raised for selling 35 candle boxes is $148.75.
To find the total amount raised, we add up the amounts for each number of candle boxes sold:
$21.25 + $63.75 + $106.25 + $148.75 = $340
Therefore, the club raised a total of $340.
However, we need to know the number of candle boxes sold in total to determine how much money the club raised for the trip. The number of candle boxes sold is given as 960.
To find the total amount raised, we need to multiply the amount raised for each candle box (340) by the total number of candle boxes sold (960):
Total amount = $340 * 960 = $326,400.
Therefore, the club raised a total of $326,400.
However, none of the options provided matches this amount. Thus, the given options are incorrect, and we cannot determine the exact amount the club raised based on the given information.
To find out how much money the club raised, we need to find the total amount raised for each quantity of candle boxes sold and then add them up.
From the table, we have the following data:
Number of Candle Boxes Sold: 5
Amount Raised: $21.25
Number of Candle Boxes Sold: 15
Amount Raised: $63.75
Number of Candle Boxes Sold: 25
Amount Raised: $106.25
Number of Candle Boxes Sold: 35
Amount Raised: $148.75
To find the total amount raised for each quantity of candle boxes sold, we multiply the number of candle boxes sold by the corresponding amount raised.
For 5 candle boxes sold:
Amount Raised = 5 * $21.25 = $106.25
For 15 candle boxes sold:
Amount Raised = 15 * $63.75 = $956.25
For 25 candle boxes sold:
Amount Raised = 25 * $106.25 = $2,656.25
For 35 candle boxes sold:
Amount Raised = 35 * $148.75 = $5,218.75
Now, we add up the total amount raised from each quantity of candle boxes sold:
Total Amount Raised = $106.25 + $956.25 + $2,656.25 + $5,218.75 = $8,937.50
Therefore, the club raised a total of $8,937.50.
However, this amount exceeds the cost needed for the trip, which is $3,840.00. So, the correct answer is not provided in the options given.
