Question

Students at Maple school earned $708 selling candles. They want to accumulate $2000 for a club trio. What percent of their goal has been reached

Answer 1

The correct answer is 35.4%

Explanation:

Let's check the information provided in the question:

Savings goal = US$ 2,000 for the club trip

Earnings for the candles selling = US$ 708

For calculating the accumulated percentage, we can do it this way:

Accumulated percentage = Earnings / Savings goal

Accumulated percentage = 708 / 2,000 * 100

Accumulated percentage = 0.354 * 100

Accumulated percentage = 35.4%

Students at Maple School has accumulated 35.4% of their savings goal with the candles selling.
