help me passage below

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

The golf club needs to raise $2,620.00 for a trip to play golf at Augusta Country Club. They are selling boxes of personalized golf balls for $25.00 per box. They have already raised $1,225.00 from the fundraiser. The percussion club needs to raise $2,400.00 to pay for a trip to the state capital to participate in a parade. They are selling 3-gallon tubs of caramel popcorn for $18.25 each. They have already raised $1,314.00 from the fundraiser. If both clubs are going to meet their goals, from this point on the---- club needs to sell --- more items from their fundraiser than the--- club needs to sell from their fundraiser.

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

the \(\bf\text{golf club}\) needs to raise \($2620\) and they already have \($1225\) so they need to raise \($2620-1225=$1395\) each ball is \($25\), so they need to sell \(25x=1395\\x=55.8\) if u r allowed to round then approximately \(60\) boxes, try the same method with the other club.

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

what i did is for this part The golf club needs to raise $2,620.00 for a trip to play golf at Augusta Country Club. They are selling boxes of personalized golf balls for $25.00 per box. They have already raised $1,225.00 from the fundraiser.

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

so your saying that we need to talk about the golf club catching up with thhe country club

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

the question is saying that a club needs to raise some f fixed amuont of money. But they have somewhat less money than the required amount of money. so they are selling some boxed, the question for first part is asking how many boxes should be sold so that , they need to complete the shortage of money.? read the above and see if that makes sense .

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

okay

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

so they need to sell boxes for 25.00 or they are already doin that????? @mathmath333

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

im going to close this question but still help me please

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

they were already selling boxes and had raised \($1225\) but they need total of \($2620\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

so how many more dollars they need ?

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

1395

OpenStudy (parissfrance09):

@mathmath333

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yea so number of boxes they need to sell more is \(\dfrac{1395}{25}= ?\) \(\large \color{black}{\dfrac{1395}{25}= ?\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ }\)

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

yea so number of boxes they need to sell more is \(\large \color{black}{\dfrac{1395}{25}= ?\hspace{.33em}\\~\\ }\)
