Question

the committee to plant more trees has raised 40% of their goal. they want to raised $3,000. How much more money do they need to raise to meet their goal

Answer 1

First, find 40% of 3,000:

0.40 * 3000 = 1200

So they raised 1200 so far.

Now subtract 1200 from the total they want to raise:

3000 - 1200 = 1800

So they need $1,800 more to meet their goal.
