Question

A choir is raising money to buy a new piano. Members have raised $480 so far. This amount is 60% of their goal. What is the choir's goal amount?

Answer 1

Total amount wanted = 800

Explanation:

480 represents 60% of the total amount

Let the total amount = x

60/100 * x = 480 Multiply both sides by 100

60*x = 480 * 100 Combine

60*x = 48000 Divide by 60

x = 48000 / 60

x = 800
