+101 Helene's marching band needs money to travel to a competition. Band members have raised $560. They need to raise a total of $1,680. Write and solve an equation to find how much more they need. Show that your answer is reasonable.
An equation that represents this relationship is .
The solution to this equation is $.
+23246 (How much money they have) plus (how much more money they need) to get (the total cost of the trip).
They have $560.00.
Let's make x represent the amount of money they need.
Total cost is $1680.00.
(560) + (x) = (1680)
560 + x = 1680
Subract 560 from both sides:
x = $1120.00
It's reasonable because they need more than $1600.00 and they have less than $600.00, so they will need more than $1000.00.
