Students in a sixth-grade class are raising money for an end-of-year camping trip. So far, they have raised $240. This is 2/3 of the cost of the trip. How much does the trip cost? Please include equations.

$600

Step-by-step explanation:

2/5 = 240 of the trip

1/5 = 120 of the trip

3/5 = 360 of the trip

4/5 = 480 of the trip

5/5= the whole trip $600

Hope this helps :)

220

Step-by-step explanation:

okay, so 209 7th graders this year

since there was a 5 percent decrease from last year, 209 is 95 percent of the 7th graders from last year

so then we can set up a proportion

209/0.95=x/1

we can cross multiply

0.95x=209

x=220
