Question

a school is running a fundraiser. for every $75 worth of wrapping paper sold, the school receives $20. how much wrapping paper must be sold to reach he fundraising goal of $2,500

Answer 1

$9259.26

Explanation:

The school receives $20 on $75.

We can calculate the percentage by using the values.

20/75 = 0.27%

The school recieved 0.27% of the payment.

Now we know the target amount and percentage, we can calculate the principal amount here.

Let x dennote the worth on which the school will recieve 2500 dollars.
`2500 = x * 0.27\\x = (2500)/(0.27)\\ x = 9259.26`

$9259.26 worth of ribbon has to be sold for the school to get $2500 ..
