The Most Appealing Nose Contest
As a service project, the student council at my school decided to raise money for the Humane Society. After a brief debate, the students decided to hold The Most Appealing Nose Contest. Each contestant would submit a photograph of his or her pet along with the application fee of $5.Half of the photographs submitted were pictures of cats so it was no surprise when a lovely black cat named Munin won the top prize, $25 worth of cat food and toys. A fourth of the photographs received were pictures of dogs, 1/8 were pictures of horses, 1/16 were pictures of fish, and 13 were gerbils. Only 1/32 of the photos were pictures of canaries, and some students were surprised when Chandlor Canary belonging to Principal Peters flew away with the second place prize, a $1.79 bag of bird seed.
If the only expense was the money spent for prizes, how much money did the student council raise for the humane society.
Bonus: Count the number of legs on all the animals entered in the contest. Don't forget to explain how you found this answer.
I would like to thank Jacqueline Gorman, Indiana University of Pennsylvaina, for providing the inspiration for this problem.
