Question

Carlos sold a total of $300 for his band fundraiser and has to collect money from his customers. So far, he collected 29/50 of the total that he has sold. How much money does he still need to collect?

Answer 1

Carlos still needs to collect $126

Explanation:

First, we can multiply 29/50 by 300 to find how much Carlos has collected so far:

29/50 * 300 = 8700/50 = 174

Now we can subtract this value from 300 to find the amount Carlos still needs to collect:

300 - 174 = 126

Answer 2

$126

Explanation:

Remaining amount = Total amount - Amount collected

Remaining amount = $300 - (29/50) x $300

Remaining amount = $300 - $174

Remaining amount = $126
