Answer: 20 additional contributors

Step-by-step explanation:

the table is 500 dollars

shares cost 20

jane already has 5

the equation is

500=20(x+5)

x is the amount of contributors needed

500=20(x+5)

distribute

500=20x+100

subtract 100 from both sides

400=20x

divide by 20 on both sides

20=x

20 additional contributors

She already has five contributors lined up.

To find

The new contributors.

How to find the new contributors?

Jane recruits in order for the cost of each share to be $20.00.

The table costs $500.

She already has five contributors lined up.

Let x be the new contributros.

Then according to linear system,

500 = 20 (x + 5)

  25 = x + 5

     x = 20

Thus the new contributors are 20.
