Answer: $ 2724

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion to represent money collected and total:

[tex]\frac{Teacher}{Total} =\frac{6356}{x} =\frac{.70}{1}\\6356 = .7x\\/.7 = /.7\\x = 9080[/tex]

Now that we found the total, we can subtract the $ teacher collected from the total to find the amount students collected.

9080 - 6356 = $2724
