for their trip to yellowstone park, a group of students raised 85% of the $12,000 needed. how much have the students raised so far?
$10,200
$1,800
$824
$14,118

10,200

Step-by-step explanation:

you change 85% to .85

then multipy .85 and 12000

and it comes out to 10,200

Let X = the price he paid for the car.

For the amount of profit, multiply the price he paid ( X) by the percent of profit, so you would have 0.18x.

Now you have X + 0.18x = $4575

Add X and 0.18x to get 1.18x

Now you have 1.18x = 4575

Solve for x by dividing both sides by 1.18:

x = 4575 / 1.18

x = 3877.118

Rounded to the nearest whole dollar = $3,877
