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
Im not sure if you wrote this wrong because (x+y)2 does equal x2+y2. An example would be if x equals 3 and y equals 4 (3+4)2=(3)2+(4)2 (7)2=6+8 14=14.
