Question

The chess club has a budget of at least $300 that the members can spend for the field trip. There are 20 people in the chess club. They get a discount of $60 for transportation for the field trip. What is the minimum that each member

of the chess club can spend on the trip?

Answer 1

$12

Explanation:

We are told that there are 20 people in the chess club and each got a discount of $60 for transportation on the field trip.

Let the amount spent by each member is x

Since there are 20 of them and the budget is at least $300 and they get a discount of $60, it means that;

20x ≥ 300 - 60

20x ≥ 240

Divide both sides by 20 to get;

x ≥ 12

Thus, minimum amount each member can spend is $12.
