the 14 music club members each paid the same amount for dues.the club also earned $370 selling magazine subscriptions. they spent $600 to orangize a jazz festival. now thier bank account which stsrted a $0, is overdrawn by $10. how much did each memnber pay in dues?
jill is 6x, Amy is 1x
7x = $84 x= 12,
Jill $72, Amy $12.
------------------
x = amount in Dues
14 x + 370 - 600 = -10
14 x = 220
x = $15.71
It doesn't work out exact due to rounding of the penny. The club would have overdrawn by 10.06 in the account.
