Respuesta :

15682 + 18940 + 16114 + 12468 = 63204 .....these are the total cans collected.
their goal was 50,000...so they collected more......63204 - 50000 = 13204 more

Answer:

A) 13,204 more

Step-by-step explanation:

The goal of a benefit concert is to collect 50,000 cans of food.

Food is collected at each entrance to the concert.

Entrance A                            15,682 cans

Entrance B                            18,940 cans

Entrance C                             16,114 cans

Entrance D                             12,468 cans

Total                                        63,204 cans

Hence, they collected more cans than desired.

And the correct option is:

A) 13,204 more   (63204-50000=13204)
