Juanita enters a drumming contest. It costs $10 to enter. She has 2 minutes to hit as many drums as she can. If she hits 200 drums, she can start to make money, equal to 2.5 cents for every drum hit. How many drums does she hit if she lost $7.5 for joining the contest?
She made $2.5 from hitting drums because 10 - 7.5 = <<10-7.5=2.5>>2.5
She hit 200 drums to start making money
She hit 100 drums in order to make the $2.5 because 2.5/.025 = 100
She hit 300 drums in total because 100 + 200 = <<100+200=300>>300
#### 300
