Answer: 64%
Step-by-step explanation:
The band needs $800 for new uniforms and of that, they only raised $512.
Set up a proportion [tex]\frac{part}{total} = \frac{percentage}{100}[/tex]and plug everything you know in.
[tex]\frac{512}{800}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{100}[/tex]
Solve for x by cross multiplying and dividing.
512 × 100 = 51200
51200 ÷ 800 = 64
x = 64
The school band has raised 64% of their goal already.
