1. **State the problem:** 8 children raised a total of £96 by helping to pack bags at a local supermarket. Each child raised the same amount. We need to find out how much each child raised. 2. **Formula used:** To find the amount each child raised, divide the total amount raised by the number of children. $$\text{Amount per child} = \frac{\text{Total amount}}{\text{Number of children}}$$ 3. **Apply the formula:** $$\text{Amount per child} = \frac{96}{8}$$ 4. **Simplify the fraction:** $$\frac{\cancel{96}}{\cancel{8}} = 12$$ 5. **Conclusion:** Each child raised £12.
