The midtown middle school cheerleaders earned $175 at a car wash. If this amount is 25% of the cost of a new set of uniforms, what is the total cost for a set of uniforms?
$700. If $175 is 25% of the cost (C) of the uniforms, then we can write an equation like this... C x .25 = $175 Divide both sides of the equation by .25 to solve for C, and you get... C = $700
