Jefferson Middle School needs to see a 300% gain in PTO fundraiser

Ronch [10]

Given parameters:

Percentage gain = 300%

Selling cost last year = $2420

Unknown:

Selling cost this year = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem;

Profit percent = $\frac{Selling cost this year - Selling cost last year}{Selling cost last year} x 100$

300 = $\frac{S - 2420}{2420} x 100$

3 = $\frac{S - 2420}{2420}$

S- 2420 = 7260

S = $9680

To make a 300% gain, Jefferson Middle school needs a $9680 from fundraiser sales this year.
