To find the price of the flowers in September, divide the current price by 1 + the percent of increase:

September price = $1.50/1.20 = $1.25

The price of the flowers in September was $1.25  ( Check 1.25 x 1.20 = 1.50)

Total money raised in September = $1.25 x 900 = $1,125

40% earned = 0.4 x $1,125 = $450

Total money raised in October = $1.50 x 700 = $1,050

40% earned = 0.4 x $1,050 = $420

$450 – $420 = $30 more in September.

The class earned more money in September by $30 more.

70,000 + 6,000 + 800 + 30
