The computer club is having a fundraiser to help pay for a trip to the science museum. So far they have raised $96, which is only 48% of their goal. How much money are they trying to raise?
96 = 0.48 x
x = 96/0.48
To find out how much money the computer club is trying to raise, we need to determine the total amount represented by 100% of their goal.
We know that the amount raised, $96, is only 48% of the goal.
To find the total amount, we can set up a proportion:
48/100 = 96/x
To solve for x, we can cross multiply:
48x = 9600
Divide both sides of the equation by 48:
x = 200
Therefore, the computer club is trying to raise $200 in total.
