Question

students collected 600 cans for the canned food drive that was 80% of their goal how many more cans do they need to collect to reach their goal

Answer 1

I think it's 1080 cans

Answer 2

Answer: 150

Explanation:

Let x be the total number of cans that was students' goal.

Given : Students collected 600 cans for the canned food drive that was 80% of their goal .

We can write 80% as 0.80

Then, we have

`0.80x=600\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=(600)/(0.80)=750`

Thus, The students' goal of collecting cans for the canned food drive = 750 cans

Now, the number of food cans required to collect to reach the goal= 750-600=150
