thanks in advance 1st: A youth organization raised 15,336 dollars by selling gift baskets. five different teams sold the baskets. Martin's team sold 48 baskets, Amy's team sold 138 baskets, Sharon's team sold 77 baskets, Juan's team sold 250 baskets, and Dee's team sold 126 baskets. Each basket was the same price. What was the price of 1 gift basket? 2nd: What is the difference between the amount of money raised by the team that sold the greatest number of gift baskets and the amount of money raised by the team that sold the least number of baskets? sorry and thanks, i just did not get this question.
--------------------
Let p be the price of the basket. The amount each team made will be the number of baskets they sold times the price, so 48p + 138p + 77p + 250p + 126p = 15336 Collect similar terms: 639p = 15336 and divide: p = 15336/639 = $24 The team that sold the most was Juan's: 250p = $6000. (I want Juan on my team.) The team that sold the least was Martin's: 48p = $1152 Difference: 6000 - 1152 = $4848
