percent mena sparts out of 100
x/100=x%
3500/5000=x%
3500/5000=x/100
35/50=x/100
70/100=x/100
70=x

answer is 70% of goal raised

Answer:

Answer : Fias raised 70% of her goal/target.

Explanation:

Given scenario is :

Fias goal was to raise $5,000 to help protect manatees. She raised $3,500. To get the percentage raised, we will divide the raised amount by total target and multiply it by 100.

So, in percentage, she raised =
(3500)/(5000) *100

= 70 percent.

Answer : Fias raised 70% of her goal/target.
