Kate takes part in a swim-a-thon to raise money for charity.

Her grandmother sponsors her $20 in total.

Her uncle sponsors her $1.25 for each lap of the pool she swims.

In order to raise $100, how many laps does Kate need to swim?

1.25x\large x = 100 −- 20
∴x\therefore \large x = 801.25\dfrac{80}{1.25}
= 64 laps
