The amount of money Tony's club get for every box they sell 
dollar
They amount of money Tony's club has raised by selling 75 boxes is:
dollars
The amount of money Tony's club is required to raise = 180 dollars
The remaining need to be raised is :
dollars

Answer:
Solution
p = {-3, 1}
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
p2 + 2p + -3 = 0
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 2p + p2 = 0
Solving
-3 + 2p + p2 = 0
Solving for variable 'p'.
Factor a trinomial.
(-3 + -1p)(1 + -1p) = 0
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(-3 + -1p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
-3 + -1p = 0
Solving
-3 + -1p = 0
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + -1p = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + -1p = 0 + 3
-1p = 0 + 3
Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3
-1p = 3
Divide each side by '-1'.
p = -3
Simplifying
p = -3
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + -1p)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
1 + -1p = 0
Solving
1 + -1p = 0
Move all terms containing p to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + -1p = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + -1p = 0 + -1
-1p = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
-1p = -1
Divide each side by '-1'.
p = 1
Simplifying
p = 1
Solution
p = {-3, 1}
