12. the community center has a pottery class each month. each student pays $15 for the class and $27 for materials. this month the pottery class brought in a total of $714. how many students are in the class this month?
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate cost per student
The cost per student is the sum of the class - fee and the material - fee. So, $15 + 27=42$ dollars per student.
Step2: Find number of students
We divide the total money brought in by the cost per student. Let the number of students be $n$. Then $n=\frac{714}{42}$. $714\div42 = 17$.
Answer:
17
