Another project on Kickstarter for an iPad stylus raised 1,253% of their goal, raising a

total of $313,490 from 7,511 supporters. What was their original goal?

To find the original goal, you can use the percentage raised and the total amount raised. The relationship between these values is:

\[
\text{Total Amount Raised} = \left(\frac{\text{Percentage Raised}}{100}\right) \times \text{Original Goal}
\]

Rearranging the formula to solve for the original goal:

\[
\text{Original Goal} = \frac{\text{Total Amount Raised}}{\left(\frac{\text{Percentage Raised}}{100}\right)}
\]

Given:
- Percentage Raised = 1,253%
- Total Amount Raised = $313,490

Substitute the values:

\[
\text{Original Goal} = \frac{313,490}{\left(\frac{1,253}{100}\right)} = \frac{313,490}{12.53} \approx 25,014.37
\]

So, the original goal was approximately **$25,014.37**.

2. A project raised $75,000 from 2,000 backers, exceeding its goal by 150%. What was the original goal?
3. How much would a campaign raise if it reached 1,000% of its $15,000 goal?
4. If a campaign's original goal was $50,000 and it raised $200,000, what percentage of its goal did it reach?
5. How many supporters would be needed to reach 200% of a $20,000 goal if each supporter contributed $50?

**Tip:** To find the original amount from a percentage increase, divide the final amount by the percentage (expressed as a decimal).
