Question

A school wants to raise $2,500 to support its music program. If it raises 175% of its goal, how much money will the music program receive?

Answer 1

$500 so far

Explanation:

Multiply 2500 by 20% (or 0.2) and you get 500.

(They still need to raise $2,000)

Answer 2

1. Find 175% of $2,500
2500*(175/100)
2500*(1.75)
$4375
The music program will receive $4,375.
