Question

An amount of 960.00 was contributed equally by 80 students. If 714.00 was contributed equally by 68 girls and the remains was contributed equally by the boys,how much did each (A) girl contribute ( B)boy contribute

Answer 1

Amount each girl contributed = 10.5

Amount each boy contributed = 16.83

Explanation:

Total amount contributed = 916.00

Total student who contributed = 80

Number of girls = 68

Number of boys = 80 - 68

= 12

Amount contributed by 68 girls = 714.00

Amount each girl contributed = 714.00 / 68

= 10.5

Amount each girl contributed = 10.50

Amount contributed by boys = Total amount contributed - Amount contributed by 68 girls

= 916.00 - 714.00

= 202.00

Amount each boy contributed = 202.00/12

= 16.83

Amount each boy contributed = 16.83
