Economies of Scale

So Copper Hills High School is running a sub-for-santa and charity money drive. The goal for the school is $16k, which they should meet. I upped the ante and told the Student Body Officers and my classes that if $20k was raised I would shave my head. On top of this they are doing a "homeroom" competition.

The homeroom competition is pitting the homerooms against each other. In order to make it fair they are comparing the total raised per student. Thus they take your total money raised in your class and divide it by the number of students in the class.

My homeroom class has done admirably. They have raised $1017.20. Unfortunately here is where my title comes into play. I have 39 kids in my class, and thus the total amount raised per kid is only $26. The first place class has raised nearly $32/student, but when you only have 14 kids in the class they needed to raise only $448. In order for my class to catch them I must raise $240 overnight. But that is to tie where they are today. Not only do I have to raise that much more to catch them, but for each dollar they bring in between now and 9:25 am tomorrow I have to bring in an additional $2.80. And since she charges money to use the hall pass, I am out of luck.

DAMN!!!
