2023 project cost = 925,000,000
2024 project cost (expected 3% less) = 97% * 925,000,000 = 897,250,000
of which 42% are for materials expenses
42% * 897,250,000 = 378,845,000
of these 85% are raw materials and 15% are waste management and recycling
85% * 378,845,000 ~ 320,000,000 (322,018,250)
15% * 378,845,000 ~ 57,000,000 (56,526,750)
Hence rawmaterials = 320,000,000
waste management and recycling = 57,000,000

Ignore the zeroes for easy calculations.
Project cost is 925 mm (mm=million)
Project Materials account 42% of Project cost, and Within project materials expenses, raw materials = 85% of costs, while recycling and waste management =15%.
Before calculating Project Materials cost, its given total project costs are expected to decrease by 3%. So we have 0.97*925-- 1% of 925 is 9.25, 3% is ~28
New project cost is 925-28=897 mm
Project Materials Cost is 42% of 897-- for ease take as 42% of 900-->378
Now in this 85% is Raw materials
15% is recycling and waste management
for easy calculation take 378 as ~380
Raw materials 85%*380= 323--> ~320 million
recycling and waste management 15%*380=57--> ~57 million
Project cost is 925 mm (mm=million)

In 2023,
Project cost = $925,000,000
In 2024,
Project cost decreased by 3% = 97% * 925,000,000 = .97 * 925,000,000
Project materials = 42% of Project cost
= .42 * .97 * 925,000,000
Raw materials cost = 85% of Project materials cost
= .85 * .42 * .97 * 925,000,000
Raw materials cost = Approximately 320,000,000
Recycling/ waste management cost = .15 * .42 * .97 * 925,000,000
Recycling/ waste management cost = Approximately 57,000,000
Project cost = $925,000,000
In 2024,
Project cost decreased by 3% = 97% * 925,000,000 = .97 * 925,000,000
Project materials = 42% of Project cost
= .42 * .97 * 925,000,000
Raw materials cost = 85% of Project materials cost
= .85 * .42 * .97 * 925,000,000
Raw materials cost = Approximately 320,000,000
Recycling/ waste management cost = .15 * .42 * .97 * 925,000,000
Recycling/ waste management cost = Approximately 57,000,000
