Some students put on a rummage sale to raise money for four nonprofit organizations in their town. The proceeds are split evenly among the organizations, and each organization receives exactly $96. How much money did the rummage sale raise in all? Write and solve a fraction equation to find the answer.(1 point)

Answer 1

Let's represent the total amount of money raised at the rummage sale as "x".
Since the proceeds are split evenly among the organizations, each organization gets x/4 dollars.
According to the problem, each organization receives exactly $96.
So, we can set up the following equation:
x/4 = 96
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:
4(x/4) = 4(96)
x = 384
Therefore, the rummage sale raised $384 in all.
