Question

lisa sold 81 magazine subscriptions which is was 27% of her class fundraising goal.how many magazine subscripitons does her class hope to cell

Answer 1

Set up a proportion.

27% = 0.27

81/0.27 = x/1

Multiply 1 to both sides:

x = (81 * 1)/0.27

Multiply:

x = 81/0.27

Divide:

x = 300

So they hope to sell 300 magazine subscriptions.
