Question

a fundraiser raised $2400 , which was 3/5 of the goal . write an equation and solve it to find the goal

Answer 1

First of all, 2400=0.6x is the equation

Now, we use cross multiplication

2400/1 = 3/5x

2400*5 = 3x

12,000 = 3x

12000/3= 4000

The total fundraiser goal is $4,000.

Answer 2

The goal that the fundraiser wants to reach is $4,000

Assume that the goal is expressed by x.

$2,400 is 3/5 of that goal. The formula to find the goal is:

Proportion of goal x goal = Amount

3/5 × x = 2,400

3/5x = 2,400

From here you can solve for x as:

3/5x = 2,400

x = 2,400 ÷ 3/5

x = 2,400 x 5/3

x = $4,000

In conclusion, the goal is $4,000
