Question

Melissa's homeroom raised 63% of its goal for the school fundraiser. Matt's homeroom has raised 48%. Create a situation in which Matt's homeroom raised more money that Melissa's homeroom?

Answer 1

Melissa's homeroom raised 63% of its goal for the school fundraiser. Matt's homeroom has raised 48%. Since it is a percentage of their goal, a situation in which Matts homeroom raised more money that Melissa's homeroom is when Matts goal is much bigger than melissas goal, so even if melissas has bigger percentage, matt has more money.

Example

Matts goal is 1000 so 1000*.48 = 480

Melissas goal is 500 so 500*.63 = 315
