Question

The 17 students on the math team want to raise $218.25. If each student raises the same amount, how much more money must each student raise?

Answer 1

To find out how much more money each student must raise, we first need to determine how much each student will need to raise in total to meet the goal of $218.25.

1. Divide the total amount by the number of students:
\[
\text{Amount per student} = \frac{218.25}{17}
\]

2. Perform the division:
\[
218.25 \div 17 = 12.84375
\]

3. Now, since each student must raise an equal amount, we need to find out how much more money each student needs to raise if we assume they haven't raised any money yet, or we can compare it to a target amount.

4. In this case, if we know current amounts raised or have expected expectations, that need to be factored in. If the students have not yet raised any funds, they need to collectively raise the full $218.25. Therefore, each student needs to raise approximately $12.84.

5. If you're specifically asking **how much more** they need to raise from a different initial figure, please provide that figure. Assuming each student raised nothing so far, they each need to raise this amount.

**Final result:**
Each student must raise approximately **$12.84.**
