Question

The choir raised $700 last year. This year they hope to raise 42% more money.

How much money do they hope to raise this year?

Answer 1

994

Explanation:

If the choir raised $700, and they plan to make 42% more, what you have yo do is divide 700 by 100, which will bring you to 7$ is 1% of 700. Then, you must multiple 7 by 42 (which is 294). Finally, you need to add 294 to 700, which will bring you to 994 total dollars ($) raised by the choir this year.
