Answer:
$59.96
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The science club has raised $154. 24 to buy food for a polar bear cub at the zoo.
It costs $53.55 to feed the cub each week.
Question asked:
How much more money does the club need to raise to feed the cub for one month (four weeks)?
Solution:
Cost of feed for the cub for 1 week = $53.55
Cost of feed for the cub for 4 weeks = $53.55 [tex]\times[/tex] 4 = $214.20
Money raised by the science club = $154. 24
More money needed by science club = Cost of feed for 4 weeks - Money raised by the science club
More money needed by science club = $214.20 - $154. 24
= $59.96
Thus, the science club will be needed $59.96 more money for one month (four weeks) feed.
