Question

students collect 600 cans for the canned food drive this is 80% of thier goal how many more cans do they need to collect to reachthier goal

Answer 1

We can start by using algebra to solve for the total goal of the canned food drive. Let's let "g" be the total goal in number of cans.

If 600 cans is 80% of their goal, then we can write:

0.8g = 600

To solve for "g", we can divide both sides by 0.8:

g = 600 / 0.8

g = 750

So the total goal of the canned food drive is 750 cans.

To find out how many more cans the students need to collect to reach their goal, we can subtract the number of cans they've already collected from the total goal:

750 - 600 = 150

Therefore, the students need to collect 150 more cans to reach their goal.
