Question
A bake sale committee wants to raise 14 of their profit at the end of each day. How many days will it take them to raise enough money for the whole donation
Solution
To solve this problem, you need to divide the total amount of money the committee wants to raise (14).
Step 1: Identify the total amount needed and the daily contribution. In this case, the total amount is 14.
Step 2: Divide the total amount by the daily contribution.
14 = approximately 11.5
Since they can't have half a day, the committee will need 12 days to raise enough money for the donation.
