Question 1013368: Ms. Alexander has a class of $17 students. She can spend $24 on each student to buy math supplies for the year. She first buys all of her students calculators, which costs a total of $125.36. After buying the calculators, how much does she have left to spend on each student

She has a class of 17 kids. At $24 each, she can spend 17*$24 = $408. Since she spent $125.36, she has
$408 - $125.36 = $282.64 left to spend.
Divide that by 17 and get
$16.62 or so for each student...
