Question

Greg collected cash donations for a local food bank as part of a service project. He collected

$400 altogether. He had expected to collect 37.5% less than that. How much money had
Greg expected to collect?

Answer 1

$250

Explanation:

He expected to collect 37.5% less than $400.

First, we find 37.5% of $400.

Then we subtract that amount from $400.

37.5% of $400 is:

37.5% of $400 = 0.375 × $400 = $150

Now, subtract $150 from $400:

$400 - $150 = $250

Answer: $250
