Question

The 7th grade Science classes are raising money for charity. Their goal is $750.00

class has raised 50% of the total needed to meet the goal of $750.00.
class has raised one-third of the amount of their goal of $750.00
.How much more money is needed to reach their goal of $750.00?

Answer 1

If the 7th grade science classes have raised 50% of the total needed to meet their goal of $750.00, they have raised 750.00 * 0.50 = $375.00.

If they have raised one-third of the amount of their goal of $750.00, they have raised 750.00 / 3 = $<<750/3=250.00>>250.00.

Since the classes have raised a total of $375.00 + $250.00 = $625.00, they need to raise an additional 750.00 - 625.00 = $<<750-625=125.00>>125.00 to reach their goal of $750.00.
