Answer
She plans to collect 350 dollars
Step-by-step explanation:
Knowing that 245 dollars is equal to only 70% of what Rachel hopes to collect, the equation:
70% * x = 245
where x = money she plans to collect in total, is applicable,
Solving:
70/100 * x = 245,
7/10 * x =245,
7x/10 = 245,
7x = 2450,
x = 350 dollars
