Answer:
50t + 1,250 >= 12,500
On average, each student must raise at least $225.
Step-by-step explanation:
They are trying to raise "at least $12,500".
At least $12,500 means $12,500 or more.
The amount they raise must be greater than or equal to $12,500.
Each student must raise at least t.
There are 50 students, so combined, they will raise 50t.
They already have $1,250, so they will have a total of 50t + 1250.
The combined amount they raise must be greater than or equal to $12,500.
The equation is:
50t + 1,250 >= 12,500
Subtract 1250 from both sides.
50t >= 11,250
Divide both sides by 50:
t >= 225
On average, each student must raise at least $225.
