Question 619158: The horse rescue's only means of support is fundraising and donations. In a given month the rescue will hold several fund raisers at restaruants that will donate 20% of the food sales on a given evening to the rescue.
If we have 17 horses in a given month how much would the restaurants have to make in sales for us to break even

You will need to give how much it costs to keep each horse in order to work this out. But as only 20% is given, this represents 20/100 (i.e. 1/5) of the intake of the restaurant, so the restaurant would have to make 5 times as much as that needed by the horse rescue.
