Question

Lisa sold 81 magazine subscriptions, which is 27% of her class's fundraising goal. How many magazine subscriptions does her class hope to sell?

Answer 1

Since 81 will be 27 percent of the total number of magazines you will find "81 is 27 percent of what number?"

81 is 27 percent of 300.

Therefore, her class hoped to sell 300 magazines in total!
