r = $17.00 To solve this, we set up the equation: 204 = 12r. Dividing both sides by 12 gives r = 204/12 = 17, meaning 12 fits into 204 exactly 17 times. The task involves determining the cost of one rake, denoted as r. Given that there are 12 volunteers and each has gloves costing $8.00 per pair, totalling $96.00, deducted from the $300 spent results in $204. The previous steps have solved the equation systematically.
