\(\frac{$300,000 - $200,000}{100 - 60}\)

\(= \frac{$100,000}{40}\)

\(= $2,500\), Answer must be (A)

Average number of dollars per day to be raised in last 40 days = \(\frac{100000}{40}\)=2500

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

remaining amount/remaining number of days = (300000 - 200000)/4 = 100000/40 = 2500

(A) $2,500
(B) $3,000
(C) $5,000
(D) $6,000
(E) $7,500


After 60 days, the organization has 40 days to raise an additional $100,000
So the average number of dollars per day it must raise = $100,000/40 = 10,000/4 = 2,500

Answer: A

Brent

(A) $2,500
(B) $3,000
(C) $5,000
(D) $6,000
(E) $7,500


300 - 100 days

200 - 60 days

We need 100 in 40 days.

100/40=2.5
Which is 2500 if you consider the zeros we trimmed.

Option A.

(A) $2,500

(E) $7,500


Since the organization has to raise $100,000 in the remaining 40 days, the average number of dollars per day that it must raise for the last 40 days in order to achieve its goal is 100,000/40 = $2,500.

Answer: A
