Answer:

The coach raised $1250 last year

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount raised last year be $x

Amount raised this year = $1200

Amount raised this year was less by the 4% of x amount last year:

1200 = x - 4% of x

1200 = x - x (x) 4/100 = 96x/100

x = $1250

The coach raised $1250 last year for the equipment.
