Question

The school band has a goal of raising $800 for some new uniforms. If they have raised $512 so far, what percent of their goal have they raised?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Answer would be 64%

Answer 2

Answer: 64%

Step-by-step explanation:

The band needs $800 for new uniforms and of that, they only raised $512.

Set up a proportion $\frac{part}{total} = \frac{percentage}{100}$and plug everything you know in.

$\frac{512}{800}$ = $\frac{x}{100}$

Solve for x by cross multiplying and dividing.

512 × 100 = 51200

51200 ÷ 800 = 64

x = 64

The school band has raised 64% of their goal already.
