Answer:

A $2000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the least amount of money the club has to make to get $600 then...

30%x=600

We can convert 30% to a fraction. Any percentage is that number percent over hundred:

[tex]\frac{30}{100}x=600[/tex]

Simplify the fraction by dividing it by 10/10. Notice we can only do this since 10/10 is equivalent to 1, so in a sense we are dividing the fraction by 1:

[tex]\frac{3}{10}x=600[/tex]

Multiply 10 to both sides

[tex]3x=6000[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3

[tex]x=2000[/tex]

The club would have to make at least $2000
