The amount of money raised at a school fundraiser is directly proportional to the number of people who attend. Last year the amount of money raised for 100 attendees was $2500. How much money will be raised is 875 people attend this year?

Amount of money raised for 875 people=A=$21,875

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be expression in the equation, A=k. N;

Where;

A=Amount of money raised=$2500

k=Constant of proportionality (Amount of money per attendee)

N=Number of attendees=100

Replacing in the expression;

Amount of money raised=K*Number of people who attend

2500=K*100

K = (2500/100) = 25

Amount of money per attendee=K=$25 per attendee

How much money was raised for 875 people?

Using the expression, A=k. N

where;

Number of people (N) = 875

k=25

Replacing;

A = (25*875) = $21,875

Amount of money raised for 875 people=A=$21,875
