Zoo's Victoria is building a new enclosure for one of their Gorilla's. They have two Gorilla in the one space and they are fighting and causing injury to each other.

The zoo obtained two quotes from the JKL Builders.
Quote 1- $535,000 with everything manual
Quote 2- $640,000 with all of the doors and feeders automated and extra platforms

They have decided to go with Quote 2. They already have grants and sponsorship for $450,000 and are planning a fundraiser for the rest.

In the box below write your answers

a. How much do they need to raise?

Answer 1

The zoo needs to raise $190,000 to fund the construction of the new enclosure.

Explanation:

The total cost of Quote 2 is $640,000, and the zoo already has grants and sponsorship of $450,000. Therefore, they need to raise the remaining amount:

$640,000 - $450,000 = $190,000

The zoo needs to raise $190,000 to fund the construction of the new enclosure.
