Answer: The goal was $500

======================================================

Work Shown:

x% = x/100

175% = 175/100 = 1.75

Let g be the goal, which is the amount of money the club wanted to raise

175% of goal = 175% of g = 1.75g

The expression 1.75g represents how much money was actually raised, which was $875. Set the two expressions equal to each other. Solve for g

1.75g = 875

g = 875/1.75 ....... divide both sides by 1.75

g = 500

The club's goal was to raise $500

Note how 75% of $500 is 0.75*500 = 375

When they raised 175% of the goal, this means they went 75% overboard and added on 375 additional dollars (on top of the 500 they wanted). So they got to 500+375 = 875 which lines up with the instructions. This helps verify the answer.

Or we can see that 1.75*g = 1.75*500 = 875 which helps confirm the answer as well.

What is the area? Round to the nearest tenth
Tamiku [17]

Answer:

60.8 mm^2

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

You have to assume that the left and right sides are both 9.3. The question is undoable without that assumption.

Next, you have to assume that The top is 7.8 mm across and both ends meet 9.3 at right angles. Again if that is not true, the problem can't be done. Sometimes people making these questions make errors which you are asked to correct.

Solution

So let's assume that everything I've assumed is correct.

Find the area of the rectangle.

Area = L*W

L = 9.3

W = 7.8

Area = 7.8 * 9.3

Area = 72.54        Do your rounding at the end.

Now find the are of the triangle that has been cut out.

The height = 3

The base = 7.8

Area = 1/2 b * h

Area = 1/2 7.8 * 3

Area = 11.7

The area of the figure = area of the rectangle - the triangle's area

Figure Area = 72.54 - 11.7

Figure Area = 60.84
