Question

Marcy is trying to rise $425. She has raised 65% of her goal. How much more money does she have to raise?

Answer 1

So this is just gonna be a disorganized mess.

So first, we gonna find how much money she earned so far. So we convert the percentage to a decimal, which is 0.65. Now we multiply.

425x0.65=276.25

We now know how much she earned.

Next, we find how much left she has to earn. First, we have to find the percentage she has left to earn. So we subtract 100-65, which is 35. Now we multiply 425x0.35 to find that percentage.

425x0.35=148.75

To double check, we add 276.25 and 148.75 to see if they equal 425.

276.25+148.75=425.

So she needs to earn $148.75 to reach her goal
