A project on Kickstarter for an iPad stylus raised 1,130% of their goal, raising a total of $322,507 from 7,457 supporters. What was their original goal? Give your answer to the nearest dollar.

Respuesta :

Let x represent the original goal of the project.

Since x represents the 100%, and $332,507 represents 1,130%, then:

[tex]\frac{x}{100}=\frac{332,507}{1130}[/tex]

Solve for x:

[tex]x=100\times\frac{332,507}{1130}=29,425.39823\ldots\approx29,425[/tex]

Therefore, to the nearest dollar, the original goal of the project was to raise $29,425.
