fieldtrip!
a. what is the least amount of money they could have raised? show how
know.
b.
it turns out that they raised more than $500. knowing this, what is the least
amount of money they could have raised?

A. $301

B. $721

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x be the amount of money they raised.

Rowena tried to put the $1 bills into two equal piles and found one left over at the end, then

Polly tried to put the $1 bills into three equal piles and found one left over at the end, then

Frustrated, they tried 4, 5, and 6 equal piles and each time had $1 left over, then

Finally Rowena put all the bills evenly into 7 equal piles, and none were left over, then

This means is divisible by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 without remainder, so

Hence,

The smallest amount of money they could have raised is $301, because

is divisible by 7.

Now, the number should be divisible by 7 and must be greater than 500.

So,

When n = 9,

is not divisible by 7.

When n = 10,

is not divisible by 7.

When n = 11,

is not divisible by 7.

When n = 12,

is divisible by 7.

B. The least amount of money they could have raised is $721

all group life insurance is term insurance. actually it is annual renewable term and it is rated on the average age and claims experience of the entire group, which is called "experience rating." remember, this type of insurance has a 31-day grace period and is convertible to whole life upon leaving employment. a contributory group plan requires that both the employer and the employees pay part of the premium. at least 75% of those eligible must participate, so the group is sure to get most of the healthy employees as well as those that are sick.
