Answer: The coach raised $1250 last year.
Step-by-step explanation:
let the amount raised last year be $x
Amount raised this year = $1200
amount raised this year was less by the 4% of x amount last year:
1200 = x - 4% of x
[tex]1200=x-x\times\frac{4}{100}=\frac{96x}{100}[/tex]
x = $1250
The coach raised $1250 last year for the equipment.
