Answer 1

Greg expected to collect $250.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much money Greg had expected to collect, we need to subtract 37.5% of $400 from $400.

First, we calculate 37.5% of $400;

37.5% of $400 = (37.5/100) x $400 = $150.

Then, we subtract $150 from $400 to find how much Greg had expected to collect:

$400 - $150 = $250.
