Answer 1

Answer:  93

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The 24 students in Ms.Lee class each collected an average of 18 cans for recycling .

Then , the total cans collected in Ms.Lee class :

Average x Number of students

= $18\times24=432$

i.e. Total cans collected in Ms.Lee class =432

Also, the 21 students in Mr Galvez class each collected an average of 25 cans for recycling.

Then , the total cans collected in Mr Galvez class :

Average x Number of students

= $25\times21=525$

i.e. Total cans collected in Mr Galvez class =525

Difference = Cans collected in Mr Galvez class - Cans collected in Ms.Lee class

=525-432=93

Hence, Mr. Galvez class collected 93 more cans than Ms.Lee class.
