Question

A charity has received donations totaling $2370. However, this is only three-fifths of its goal.

Answer 1

3,950 is your answer. See, you divide 2,370 by 3 to get 1/5 of their goal and then multiply that by 5.

Answer 2

$\sf2350=\frac{3}{5}x\\\\Multiply\ by\ 5\ on\ both\ sides.\\2350\times5=3x\\11750=3x\\\\Divide\ by\ 3\ on\ both\ sides.\\\\{\boxed{x=3950\ dollars}$
