d. $1416.67
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
The World Issues club donates 60% of the total of their fundraising activities.
Answer a.
Let us choose the variable [tex]x[/tex] to represent the money earned during fundraising activities and [tex]M[/tex] for the revenue generated for foundation.
Answer b.
Foundation will receive 60% of the total of the fundraising activities.
Equation to determine the money that will be received by foundation:
[tex]M = 60\%\ of\ x\\OR\\M = 0.6x[/tex]
Answer c.
Given that x = $72, M = ?
Putting the value of x in the equation above:
[tex]M = 0.6 \times 72\\\Rightarrow \$43.2[/tex]
Answer d.
Given that M = $850, x = ?
Putting the value of M in the equation above to find x:
[tex]850= 0.6 \times x\\\Rightarrow x = \dfrac{850}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x = \$ 1416.67[/tex]
So, the answers are:
a. Let the variable be [tex]x[/tex] for the fundraising activities and [tex]M[/tex] as the revenue for foundation.
b. [tex]M =0.60x[/tex]
c. $43.2
d. $1416.67
