a pet store has a special offer this weekend. for every 120$ that customers spend, the store will donate 3$ to a pet rescue program.
to find the amount customers would have to spend in order to raise $1,000 first enter the amount needed to raise $1
amount spent (dollars): ? 120
amount donated (dollars): 1 3
To find the amount customers would have to spend in order to raise $1,000, we can set up a proportion:
$3 donated for every $120 spent
$1000 to be donated for every x amount spent
3/120 = 1000/x
Cross multiply:
3x = 120,000
Divide by 3 on both sides to solve for x:
x = 40,000
So, customers would have to spend $40,000 in order to raise $1,000 for the pet rescue program.
what is the amount needed to raise 1 dollar
To find the amount needed to raise $1, we can set up a proportion as follows:
$3 donated for every $120 spent
$1 to be donated for every x amount spent
3/120 = 1/x
Cross multiply:
3x = 120
x = 120/3
x = 40
So, the amount needed to raise $1 is $40.
