To determine the total fractional amount that your neighborhood aims to raise, let's break it down into steps:
1. Let’s say the neighborhood wants to raise a certain amount of money, which we can denote as \( x \).
2. The neighborhood also wants to raise another \( \frac{1}{4} \) of that amount.
3. Therefore, the total amount they wish to raise can be expressed as:
\[
x + \frac{1}{4}x = \frac{4}{4}x + \frac{1}{4}x = \frac{5}{4}x
\]
Thus, the total fractional amount they hope to raise is \( \frac{5}{4} \) of their initial goal \( x \). If you know the exact amount they wish to raise (the value of \( x \)), you can multiply that amount by \( \frac{5}{4} \) to find the total funds needed. If \( x \) represents the amount they would like to raise (before adding the extra quarter), the goal becomes clearer as \( \frac{5}{4}x \).
