The table shows the levels of awards based on the amount of money raised for charity.

Gold Award 80%–100%
Silver Award 60%–79%
Bronze Award 1%–59%

Part A: Determine an amount of money less than $625 that you would like to raise for your favorite charity. If $625 is the goal, what percentage of the goal would you raise? Show each step of your work. (2 points)

Part B: Based on the percentage found in Part A, which award category on the table would your contributions fall into? Please explain your answer. (2 points)

Answer 1

Part A:

Let's say the amount of money I would like to raise for my favorite charity is $500.

To find the percentage of the goal I would raise, we can use the formula:

Percentage = (Amount Raised / Goal) * 100

Plugging in the values, we get:

Percentage = (500 / 625) * 100
Percentage = 0.8 * 100
Percentage = 80%

Therefore, I would raise 80% of the goal.

Part B:

Based on the percentage found in Part A, my contributions would fall into the Gold Award category on the table. This is because 80% is within the range of 80% to 100%, which corresponds to the Gold Award level.
