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
