Question

Noah raised $54 to support the animal shelter , which is 60% of his fundraising goal.

Answer 1

Answer:

The linear equation that represent this problem is  $0.60x=54$

The fundraising goal is $90

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the fundraising goal

Remember

$60\%=60/100=0.60$ ----> percentage in decimal form

we know that

The fundraising goal multiplied by the percentage in decimal form must be equal to the amount raised

so

The linear equation that represent this problem is

$0.60x=54$

solve for x

Divide by 0.60 both sides

$x=54\0.60\\x=\ 90$
