12,000 X 3/8 or 12,000x.375 = 4,500.
12,000-4,500= 7,500.
The answer is 7,500 more to raise

They've raised 3/8 of the total. That means they need 5/8 more.
5/8 of $12,000
= 5/8 * 12,000
Multiply across:
= 60,000 / 8
Simplify:
= $7,500
They still need to raise $7,500.
(Alternatively you could take 3/8 of $12,000 which will be $4,500. Subtract that from $12,000 to see they need $7,500 more.)

(5/8) X 12,000 = $7500 because 3/8 of the cash has alread been made. all you need now are the other 5/8.

It needs $12,000 total.
$12,000 divided by 8 (to get the value of 1/8 of the total) is $1,500.
So, they've raised 3 times that ($4,500), and need 5 times that (5/8ths) more -- $7,500 to go.

12,000/8: dothis to find what 1/8 of 12,000
then multiply that answer by 5
you multiply by five because there are 5/8 more you need
answer= (12,000/8)*5= 7500

presumably it's hoping to raise the other 5/8

3/8 of 12000 is 4500 so you still need to raise $7500

3/8 OF $12000 IS $4500
(3/8 , WHICH MEANS DIVIDE BY, IS 0.375)
.375 X 12000 = 4500)
$12000 - $4500 = $7500
THEREFORE THEY STILL HOPE TO RAISE $7500

7500.00
take $1200.00 and divide by 8 = 1500.00
1500 x 3 = 4500.
12000 - 4500= 7500.00

Divide 12000 by 3/8 = 32000, 32000-12000=20000
