Determine the amount raised by each grade

From the question, we understand that each grade raised the same amount.

This implies that.

[tex]Each\ Grade = \frac{Total}{Grades}[/tex]

[tex]Each\ Grade = \frac{\$5492}{6}[/tex]

[tex]Each\ Grade = \$915.33333333[/tex]

[tex]Each\ Grade = \$915[/tex] (approximated)
