1. challenge: ms. dortchs class wants to go to on a camping trip. the cost of the trip is $235. the class has a bake sale to raise money. they can make $45 a week for 5 weeks. how much more money will they need?

Explanation:

Problem 1

Step1: Calculate total shirts initially

$3 \times 9 = 27$

Step2: Subtract shirts taken out

$27 - 6 = 21$

Problem 2

Step1: Calculate total number of bags

$27 \div 3 = 9$

Step2: Subtract used bags

$9 - 4 = 5$

Problem 3

Note: The total number of seashells is not visible in the image. Assuming the visible seashells are 5, and if we assume an equal split from a total that can be divided by 5, but since the full number is missing, we cannot solve this problem accurately.

Problem 4

Step1: Calculate total money raised

$45 \times 5 = 225$

Step2: Find the remaining amount needed

$235 - 225 = 10$

Answer:

1. 21 shirts
2. 5 bags
3. Cannot solve: Total number of seashells is missing from the image.
4. $\$10$
