Question

At a food drive, afood bank has a goal to collect 24,000 cans.If the food bank collects 100 fewer cansthan its goal, how many cans did it collect?

Answer 1

Given:

• Expected number of cans to collect = 24,000 cans.

,

• The food bank collects 100 fewer cans.

Let's find the number of cans it collected.

Since the food bank collected 100 fewer cans, to find the number of cans it collected, let's subtract 100 from the expected goal which is 24000 cans.

Hence, we have:

Number of cans collected = expected goal - 100

Number of cans collected = 24000 - 100 = 23900

Therefore, the number of cans the food bank collected was 23,900 cans.

ANSWER:

23900 cans
