Question

Jane is organizing a fundraiser to buy a ping-pong table for the community center. The table costs $500.00. Jane is asking contributors to pay for an equal share of the cost of the table. She already has five contributors lined up. What function models the cost per share, C, with respect to the number of contributors, n? How many contributors must Jane recruit in order for the cost of each share to be $20.00?

Answer 1

500/n = cost per contributor

Answer 2

500/n = 20, solve for n

Answer 3

500 = n x C
If C = 20,
500 = n x 20
n = 25

Answer 4

how you get that

Answer 5

Total cost = number of contributors x amount paid by each contributor

Answer 6

Jane asked all the contributors to pay equal share.
So, amount paid by each contributor is same which is equal to C
