Dennis has sold $40 worth of chocolate bars for a fundraiser. if he sells over $175 worth of chocolate, he'll win a prize. each bar is $2.50. how many more bars does he need to sell in order to win a prize

1 answer

To figure out how many more chocolate bars Dennis needs to sell in order to win a prize, we first need to determine how much more money he needs to make beyond the $175 threshold.

  1. Calculate how much more money he needs: \[ 175 - 40 = 135 \]

    Dennis needs to sell an additional $135 worth of chocolate bars.

  2. Each chocolate bar sells for $2.50. To find out how many more bars he needs to sell, we divide the amount he needs by the price of each bar: \[ \frac{135}{2.50} = 54 \]

So, Dennis needs to sell 54 more chocolate bars to win the prize.
