Answer 1

To find your answer you'd first add up all of their laps that they had completed over the 3 weekends.

8,597 + 11,065 + 9,211 =28,873 laps.

Afterwards, you'd subtract 28,873 from the original 40,000 goal and end up with 11,127 more laps as your answer.

Answer 2

The team needs to swim 11,127 more laps in the last weekend.

Explanation:

The park districts goal is 40,000 laps.

A park district holds a fundraiser over 4 weekends.

Over three weekends the team swam 8,597 laps 11,065 laps and 9,211 laps.

So, total laps become =
`8597+11065+9211=28873` laps

The number of laps they need to swim the fourth weekend to reach there goal are =
`40000-28873=11127`

Therefore, the team needs to swim 11,127 more laps in the last weekend.
