Question

a lacrosse team raised some money. the members used 74% of the money to buy uniforms, 18% for equipment, and the remaining $216 for a team party. how much money did the team raise?

Answer 1

Raised money = $2700

Explanation:

Let x be the raised money.

Given:

The statement says the members used 74% of the money to buy uniforms, 18% for equipment,

Therefore, 74% + 18% = 92%

So the member used 92% of the money to buy uniform and equipment.

Remaining (100-92)% = 8% of the money for a team party is $216.

So, 8% of raised money = 216

8%
`*` raised money = 216

`(8)/(100)* x = 216`

`x=(216* 100)/(8)`

`x=(21600)/(8)`

`x=2700`

Therefore, the raised money is $2700.
