Question

a lacrosse team raised some money. the members used 74% of the money to buy uniforms, 18% for equipment, and the remaining $216 for a team party. how much money did the team raise?

Answer 1

Answer:

Raised money = $2700

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the raised money.

Given:

The statement says the members used 74% of the money to buy uniforms, 18% for equipment,

Therefore, 74% +  18% = 92%

So the member used 92% of the money to buy uniform and equipment.

Remaining (100-92)% = 8% of the money for a team party is $216.

So, 8% of raised money = 216

8% $\times$ raised money = 216

$\frac{8}{100}\times x = 216$

$x=\frac{216\times 100}{8}$

$x=\frac{21600}{8}$

$x=2700$

Therefore, the raised money is $2700.
