Answer 1

Answer: the total amount of money that they wanted to raise is $2400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total amount of money that Keelan and her friends want to raise.

After the first event they raise $240 which is 10% of the total amount they want to raise. The amount of money that raised after the first event is expressed as

10/100 × x = 0.1 × x = 0.1x

Therefore,

0.1x = 240

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.1, it becomes

x = 240/0.1

x = $2400
