Answer:

So The Answer would be 600=1.05x and 600=1.06x for part A and B

Explanation:

For Part B If there goal is to raise 600$ then 5% of 600$ = 30$ per roll of wrapping paper;

Part A: 600= 1.05x

The expression 1.05 represents the 5% increase for X wrapping paper sold to the equivalent of 600$

For end of the Question Im unsure what they mean they "missed there goal of raising 5600?.. 5600$ or 560.0$?"
