Answer 1

Hi Molly;

Here is your hair replacement therapy...

You request "how much money is needed"?

 

x=$ needed from each student

y=total $ needed

 

y=23($2.04+x)

 

To distribute...

y=23($2.04)+23x

 

P.S.  Thank you for indicating your grade.  I never know anything about the individuals asking these questions.  It helps me to understand what is required.
