(c) A college used 7.8% of the funds that it received from the PAR stimulus package to purchase laptops for students. If the college spent $62,000 to purchase laptops for students, how much money did the college
receive from the stimulus package altogether? Round to the nearest whole number.

The college received approximately $794,872

Step-by-step explanation:

Percentages.

Let's call x = Funds from the PAR stimulus package the college received.

We know 7.8% of x was used to purchase laptops for students.

7.8% of x = 7.8*x/100 = 0.078x

This value is said to be $62,000, thus:

0.078x = $62,000

Dividing by 0.078:

x =  $62,000 / 0.078

x = $794,872

The college received approximately $794,872
