As given

Another project on Kickstarter for an iPad stylus raised 1,253% of their goal, raising a total of $313,490 .

1253% is written in the decimal form .

$= \frac{1253}{100}$

= 12.53

Than the equation becomes

12.53 × x = 313490

12.53x = 313490

$x = \frac{313490}{12.53}$

x = $ 25019.154

Therefore the original goal is $25019.154 .
