    they receive 25 per entry but 5 goes towards the cost of the race

    so 25-5 = 20 per entry is for the charity

    so 20x + 5000 = 25000

    subtract 5000 from each side

    20x = 20000

    divide both sides by 20

    x = 20000 / 20

    x = 1000

    they need at least 1000 entries to make 25000

    so to make more than 25000, they need 1001 entries
