Answer: 300 cans

Explanation:

Questions wants to know what her goal was:

When Sasha collected 180 cans, she reached 60% of her goal. This means that 180 is 60% of the goal that she set for herself.

To find this goal, assume that it is denoted as x. In such a case, the goal would be expressed as:

180 = 60% * x

x = 180 / 60%

x = 300 cans
