A math class raised 125% of its fundraising goal. The class raised a total of $250. What was the class goal?

When school raised $ 6750 the goal was 5400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the initial fundraising goal be 100.

as per the given statement your school raised 125% of its fundraising goal.

⇒ school raised =

Equivalent ratios are two ratios that express the same relationship between numbers.

then, By equivalent ratio:

after cross multiply we get;

Divide both sides by 125 we get;

Simplify:

x = 5400

Therefore, the goal was 5400 when the school raised $ 6750

250/1.25 = 200

Check:

200*1.25 = 250

Therefore, the class goal was to raise a total of $200.
