Answer:

$9259.26

Step-by-step explanation:

The school receives $20 on $75.

We can calculate the percentage by using the values.

20/75 = 0.27%

The school recieved 0.27% of the payment.

Now we know the target amount and percentage, we can calculate the principal amount here.

Let x dennote the worth on which the school will recieve 2500 dollars. [tex]2500 = x * 0.27\\x = \frac{2500}{0.27}\\ x = 9259.26[/tex]

$9259.26 worth of ribbon has to be sold for the school to get $2500 ..
