Question 6 (Essay Worth 4 points)
(Percentages HC)
The table shows the levels of awards based on the amount of money raised for charity.
Gold Award 80%–100%
Silver Award 60%–79%
Bronze Award 1%–59%
Part A: Determine an amount of money less than $625 that you would like to raise for your favorite charity. If $625 is the goal, what percentage of the goal would you raise? Show each step of your work. (2 points)
Part B: Based on the percentage found in Part A, which award category on the table would your contributions fall into? Please explain your answer. (2 points)
Part A:
Let's say the amount of money I would like to raise for my favorite charity is $500.
To find the percentage of the goal I would raise, we can use the formula:
Percentage = (Amount Raised / Goal) * 100
Plugging in the values, we get:
Percentage = (500 / 625) * 100
Percentage = 0.8 * 100
Percentage = 80%
Therefore, I would raise 80% of the goal.
Part B:
Based on the percentage found in Part A, my contributions would fall into the Gold Award category on the table. This is because 80% is within the range of 80% to 100%, which corresponds to the Gold Award level.
Part A:
Let's assume we want to raise $500 for our favorite charity. To find the percentage of the goal we would raise, we divide the amount raised ($500) by the goal amount ($625) and then multiply by 100.
Percentage raised = ($500 / $625) * 100
Percentage raised = 0.8 * 100
Percentage raised = 80%
Therefore, if we raise $500 out of $625, we would have raised 80% of the goal.
Part B:
Based on the percentage found in Part A (80%), our contributions would fall into the Gold Award category. This is because the Gold Award category includes a range of 80% to 100% of the goal, and since we are raising 80% of the goal, our contributions would fall within this range.
