Question

a group of volunteers has been collecting toys to deliver to a local charity. over the last 4 days, the volunteers have collected 228 toys. what has been their collection rate, in toys per day?
a. 58 toys per day
b. 57 toys per day
c. 59 toys per day
d. 55 toys per day

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the collection rate

The collection rate is calculated by dividing the total number of toys by the number of days. The formula is \( \text{Rate}=\frac{\text{Total toys}}{\text{Number of days}} \).
Here, the total number of toys is \( 228 \) and the number of days is \( 4 \). So, \( \text{Rate}=\frac{228}{4} \).

Step2: Perform the division

\( 228\div4 = 57 \).

Answer:

B. 57 toys per day
