Answer 1

`September = 2697`

Explanation:

Given

`June = 1,898`

`July = 2,643`

`August = 2,287`

`Expected = 9,525`

Required

Number of cans in September

First, we need to determine the total collected can from July to August.

`Total = 1898 + 2643 + 2287`

`Total = 6828`

September is then calculated as follows:

`September = 9525 - 6828`

`September = 2697`

Hence:

2697 cans are still needed
