The three seventh grade classes at Sunview Middle School collected the most boxtops
for a school fundraiser, and so they won a $600 prize to share among them. Mr. Aceves’
class collected 3,760 box tops, Mrs. Baca’s class collected 2,301, and Mr. Canyon’s class
collected 1,855. How should they divide the money so that each class gets the same
fraction of the prize money as the fraction of the box tops that they collected?

Answer 1

All together, the students collected 3,760+2,301+1,855=7,916 box tops.

Mr. Aceves’ class collected 37607916 of the box tops.

Mrs. Baca’s class collected 23017916 of the box tops.

Mr. Canyon’s class collected 18557916 of the box tops.

The amount for Mr. Aceves’ class is 37607916×600≈284.99

The amount for Mrs. Baca’s class is 23017916×600≈174.41

The amount for Mr. Canyon’s class is 18557916×600≈140.60

So $284.99 should go to Mr. Aceves’ class, $174.41 should go to Mrs. Baca’s class, and $140.60 should go to Mr. Canyon’s class.

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:  

All together, the students collected 3,760+2,301+1,855=7,916 box tops.

Mr. Aceves’ class collected 3760/7916 of the box tops.

Mrs. Baca’s class collected 2301/7916 of the box tops.

Mr. Canyon’s class collected 1855/7916 of the box tops.

The amount for Mr. Aceves’ class is 37607916×600≈284.99

The amount for Mrs. Baca’s class is 23017916×600≈174.41

The amount for Mr. Canyon’s class is 18557916×600≈140.60

So $284.99 should go to Mr. Aceves’ class, $174.41 should go to Mrs. Baca’s class, and $140.60 should go to Mr. Canyon’s class.
