Question

A fund drive announces that it has raised $3,348 , which is 60% of its goal . How much more must be raised ?

Answer 1

3348=60%

We need to find 100%.

 

1. find 1%

=3348/0.6  

= 55.8 =1%

 

2. find 100%

55.8*100=5580

 

3. how much more to raise? 5580-3348=$2232 to raise.

Answer 2

The equation we can use to solve for the original amount is:

 

3/5x = 3,348

 

which is x = 3,348(5/3) = 5,580
