Welcome - I see you are new to Answerbank. Let me help you. You need the title of the quiz and the closing date in the top line and list any questions you need help with in the box. When replying or answering use the same box. This appliesd to other peoples posts if you help them. Good Luck.

Hint: 48 x 8= 288

I had to solve a quadratic but there must be simpler ways using trial and error.

Also note that 32 x 9 = 288

? should that be 48 x 6 = 288 ?

32 members each paid £9 = £288

48 members would each pay £6 = £288

Yes, sorry - typing error. I typed the correct calculation on here
