As part of a class project, Mesut collected $126 in donationsfor a local charity. That amount was 7% of the total amountcollected by the class. How much money did the class collectin all?

Respuesta :

The total amount can be obtained by the rule of three:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 126\rightarrow7 \\ x\rightarrow100 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Then:

[tex]x=\frac{100\cdot126}{7}=\frac{12600}{7}=1800[/tex]

Therefore the total amount is $1800.
