Answer:

Their original goal is;


\operatorname{\$}26,248

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that A project on Kickstarter for an iPad stylus raised 1,257% of their goal, raising a total of $329,932 from 7,692 supporters.

This means that;


1257\%\text{ of their goal is \$}329,932

We want to solve for their original goal x which is 100%;


\begin{gathered} x=\frac{\text{ \$329,932}}{1257\%}*100\% \\ x=\text{ \$}26,247.57 \\ x=\operatorname{\$}26,248 \end{gathered}

Therefore, their original goal is;


\operatorname{\$}26,248
