d. $1416.67

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

The World Issues club donates 60% of the total of their fundraising activities.

Answer a.

Let us choose the variable $x$ to represent the money earned during fundraising activities and $M$ for the revenue generated for foundation.

Answer b.

Foundation will receive 60% of the total of the fundraising activities.

Equation to determine the money that will be received by foundation:

$M = 60\%\ of\ x\\OR\\M = 0.6x$

Answer c.

Given that x = $72, M = ?

Putting the value of x in the equation above:

$M = 0.6 \times 72\\\Rightarrow \ 43.2$

Answer d.

Given that M = $850, x = ?

Putting the value of M in the equation above to find x:

$850= 0.6 \times x\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{850}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x = \ 1416.67$

So, the answers are:

a. Let the variable be $x$ for the fundraising activities and $M$ as the revenue for foundation.

b. $M =0.60x$

c. $43.2

d. $1416.67
