Answer 2

Answer: The School's goal was $5400

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this we have to multiply the school's goal (x) by the percentage raised in decimal form (125/100). That expression must be equal to 6750 (the amount raised).

Mathematically speaking

x(125/100) = 6750

Solving for x:

x 1.25= 6750

x = 6750/1.25

x = $5400

The School's goal was $5400
