Question

Answer 1

Explanation:

Answer 2

Proportion states that the two fractions or ratios are equal.

Let x represents the total amount of money that the club collected.

As per the statement:

The county soccer club spent $1680 for soccer camp expenses.

Then,

by definition of Proportion:

`(12)/(100) = (1680)/(x)`

By cross multiply, we get;

`12x = 168000`

Divide both sides by 12 we get;

`x = 14000`

Therefore, the total amount of money that the club collected is, $14000
