You raise $420 during a fundraising event. The amount of money that you raise is 120% of your goal. How much more did you raise than your goal?

9514 1404 393

  $70

Step-by-step explanation:

The excess amount is 20% of the goal. The given amount is 120% of the goal, so the proportion of the given amount that is excess is ...

  (20% of goal)/(120% of goal) = 1/6

Then the excess is (1/6)($420) = $70.

You raised $70 more than the $350 goal.
