Question

Taylor plans on raising a total of $3000 for Relay for Life for her school. His goal is to raise 1/3 of that money by the end of the month. Unfortunately, Taylor was only able to raise 1/5 of his goal for the month. How much money did Taylor actually raise?

Answer 1

`\$600`

Explanation:

Total amount raised for relay for life = $3000

Although goal is to raise
`(1)/(3)` of the total amount by the end of the month. But unfortunately, Taylor was only able to raise 1/5 of his goal for the month.

Therefore,

Ratio of amount raised for the month
`=(1)/(5)` of the goal.

So,

amount raised for the month
`=(1)/(5) (3000)=\$600`
