Question

Your school raised 125% of its fundraising goal.The School raised $6750.What was the goal?

Answer 1

The goal was to raise $5400.
I got this by making this: x/6750=100/125
Then you cross multiply and solve for x

Answer 2

When school raised $ 6750 the goal was 5400

Explanation:

Let the initial fundraising goal be 100.

as per the given statement your school raised 125% of its fundraising goal.

⇒ school raised =
`(125)/(100) * 100 = $ 125`

Equivalent ratios are two ratios that express the same relationship between numbers.

then, By equivalent ratio :

`(125)/(100) = (6750)/(x)`

after cross multiply we get;

`125 x = 6750 * 100`

Divide both sides by 125 we get;

`(125x)/(125) =(6750 * 100)/(125)`

Simplify:

x = 5400

Therefore, the goal was 5400 when the school raised $ 6750
