Question 1164052
A project on Kickstarter for an iPad stylus raised 1,233% of their goal, raising a total of $326,198 from 7,690 supporters. What was their original goal?
<pre>1,233% of the goal is represented by $326,198.
With G being the original goal, we get the following PROPORTION: {{{matrix(1,3, 12.33/"326,198", "=", 1/G)}}}
12.33G = 326,198 ------ Cross-multiplying
Original goal, or {{{highlight_green(matrix(1,5, G, "=", "326,198"/12.33, "=", highlight("$26,455.64")))}}}
Considering that fundraisers usually involve "NICE" round figures, I'd say that the goal may've been about $26,500.
