Hey there!

The original goal amount was $5,500.

First, we can start by adding 360 to 4040, and we get $4,400.

To get the original amount, we can use this equation:

4,400 = .80x               It means, "4400 is 80% of what?"

Divide both sides by ".80" and you get 5,500.

Hope this helps! Good luck and have a great day!

Answer:

5500 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

0.8x-360=4040 add 360 to both side

0.8x=4400 divide by 0.8

x=5500
