A project on Kickstarter for an iPad stylus raised 1,179% of their goal, raising a total of $311,275 from 7,556 supporters. What was their original goal?

Their original goal was $26401.61

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Percentage of the amount of goal raised = 1,179% of their goal

Total amount raised by the project = $311,275

Now,

Let their original goal be 'x'

Therefore,

1,179% of x = $311,275

or

11.79 * x = $311,275

or

x = $311,275 : 11.79

or

x = $26401.61

Hence,

Their original goal was $26401.61
