A school received donations totaling $1,600 for new equipment. The school estimates

this to be about 45% of the total amount they will receive. What does the school
estimate to be the total amount they will receive for the new equipment?
Which picture and equation best represent the problem?

Answer 1

$3555.56 (2 dp)

Explanation:

if $1600 = 45% then 1600/45 = 1%

Therefore, 100% = 1600/45 x 100 = $3555.56 (2 dp)
