What percent of their total goal did Bethany's family donate? F 0.75% G 75% H 2.5% J 0.25%​

Answer 1

0.75%

Explanation:

Total amount to generate at fundraiser = $8000

Amount donated by Bethany family = $60

The percentage of Bethany's donation towards the fundraiser is :

Let percentage = x

x% of 8000 = 60

x/100 * 8000 = 60

0.01x * 8000 = 60

80x = 60

Divide both sides by des by 80

80x / 80 = 60 / 80

x = 0.75
