Let's break down the problem step by step to find out how much more money you need.
1. Total Amount Needed:
The total amount needed for the material/equipment is given as R 1200.
2. Amount Fundraised:
According to the problem, the amount of money fundraised is R 1200 less than the total amount needed.
So, the amount fundraised is:
[tex]\[
\text{Amount Fundraised} = \text{Total Amount Needed} - 1200
\][/tex]
Substituting the total amount needed:
[tex]\[
\text{Amount Fundraised} = 1200 - 1200 = 0
\][/tex]
3. Additional Amount Needed:
The additional amount needed is the difference between the total amount required and the amount fundraised. Since fundraised amount is R0, the entire amount required is still needed.
Therefore, the additional amount needed is:
[tex]\[
\text{Additional Amount Needed} = \text{Total Amount Needed} - \text{Amount Fundraised}
\][/tex]
Substituting the values we have:
[tex]\[
\text{Additional Amount Needed} = 1200 - 0 = 1200
\][/tex]
To summarize:
- Total amount needed: R1200
- Amount fundraised: R0
- Additional amount needed: R1200
Thus, you need an additional R1200 to meet the total required amount for the material/equipment.
