Worksheet 8 - MATHS

The amount of money you have fundraised as a class is R1200 less than the total amount for the material/equipment, excluding the car hire. How much more money do you need?



Answer :

Sure, let's work through the problem step-by-step.

1. Identify the given information:
We know that the amount of money fundraised by the class is R 1200 less than the total amount needed for the material/equipment.

2. Understand what is being asked:
We need to find out how much more money is needed to cover the total amount for the material/equipment.

3. Set up the relationship:
Let [tex]\( T \)[/tex] be the total amount needed for the material/equipment.

The fundraised amount is then [tex]\( T - 1200 \)[/tex].

4. Determine the needed amount:
Because we need to find the amount still required to reach [tex]\( T \)[/tex]:
- The difference between [tex]\( T \)[/tex] and the fundraised amount is R 1200.

5. Determine the final answer:
Since you already have fundraised money of [tex]\( T - 1200 \)[/tex], you need an additional R 1200 to get the total amount [tex]\( T \)[/tex] required.

Therefore, the amount of money you still need to fundraise is R 1200.
