You raise $420 during a fundraising event. The amount of money that you raise is 120% of your goal. How much more did you raise than your goal?

9514 1404 393

  $70

Step-by-step explanation:

The excess amount is 20% of the goal. The given amount is 120% of the goal, so the proportion of the given amount that is excess is ...

  (20% of goal)/(120% of goal) = 1/6

Then the excess is (1/6)($420) = $70.

You raised $70 more than the $350 goal.

answer: all the values are within because it has a pattern that repeats from -6 to 4.

good luck!

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
