Question

18 A fund-raiser at the school raises

$617.50. They sent $580.45 to local
charities. What percent of the money
went to charities?​

Answer 1

Answer: 94%

Explanation:

580.45/617.50 = x/100 [setup]

580.45 × 100 = 617.50 × x [cross multiply]

580.45×100 is 58045.

617.50 × x is 617.50x

58045/617.50x [Divide 58045 by 617.50x]

x=94. So the answer is 94%
