Well, we find out by adding the costs of the equipment and the books they want to buy:

 

$3,596 + $3,438=$7,034. Can you see now? They are short $7,034 - $7,000=$34, which they have to raise.

Amount raised (A) = $7000

Sports equipment (S) = $3596

Library books (L) = $3438

 

A > S + L In order for there to have been enough money raised

 

$7000 > $3596 + $3438 (?)

$7000 > $7034 (?)

$7000 > $7034 (X)

 

They did not raise enough money
