Question

The sports club sold candles as a fundraiser to support the new team. The club earns a commission on its candle sales. If the club gets to keep 30% of the money from the candle sales, what would the club's total sales have to be in order to make at least 600
A 2000$
B 2500$
C 3125$
D 4050$​

Answer 1

Answer:

A $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the least amount of money the club has to make to get $600 then...

30%x=600

We can convert 30% to a fraction. Any percentage is that number percent over hundred:

$\frac{30}{100}x=600$

Simplify the fraction by dividing it by 10/10. Notice we can only do this since 10/10 is equivalent to 1, so in a sense we are dividing the fraction by 1:

$\frac{3}{10}x=600$

Multiply 10 to both sides

$3x=6000$

Divide both sides by 3

$x=2000$

The club would have to make at least $2000
