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.

Answer: the monthly rate for the cell phone plan is $45
Step-by-step explanation:
Let m represent the monthly rate that the cellphone company charges.
A cell phone company charges $60 for a cell phone and a monthly rate to use the phone. This means that the total charge for using the phone for x months would be
60 + xm
If Regina will pay $1140 for a 24 month cell phone plan, it means that
1140 = 60 + 24m
24m = 1140 - 60
24m = 1080
m = 1080/24 = 45
The answer is 6.35. Because you put in 254 / 40 and it says 6.35.
