Answer 1

The chess club would need to sell $327 worth of items to reach their goal of $3,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how many more items the chess club needs to sell to reach their goal of $3,000, we need to subtract the total amount they have already sold from the goal.

Total amount already sold: $2,673
Goal: $3,000

To find the difference, we subtract the total amount already sold from the goal: $3,000 - $2,673 = $327.
The chess club would need to sell $327 worth of items to reach their goal of $3,000.
