ABSTRACT

The eighth grade students at Washington Middle School are trying to raise money to help pay for a class trip. There are 250 students in the class, and they want to raise $2000.00 by recycling newspapers, cans, and glass and plastic bottles. Using the table below, calculate how many pounds of newspa­ per, cans, and bottles (or different combinations of these) stu­ dents will have to collect to raise the money.
