Question

The student council has $200 in their fundraising account and wants to increase that by 10%. How much more money does the council want to raise?1. $100 2. $2 3. $20 4. $50

Answer 1

Given that the student council has $200 in their fundraising account and wants to increase that by 10%.

`\begin{gathered} 10\text{ \% of \$200 } \\ \frac{10}{100\text{ }}\text{ x 200} \\ \\ =\text{ \$}20 \end{gathered}`

Thus, the amount of money more the council want to raise = $20
