Answer:
340 pounds of paper and 108 pounds of cars.
Step-by-step explanation:
Students have collected in the month of September 85 pounds of paper and 18 pounds of cars for recycling.
Now, for the month of October students have made a goal to collect more papers by 3 times the month of September and cars by 5 times the month of September.
If the club meets their goal in the month of October, then in the month of October they have collected paper of (85 × 3) = 255 pounds and cars of (18 × 5) = 90 pounds.
Hence, in a total of September and October months, they have collected (255 + 85) = 340 pounds of paper and (18 + 90) = 108 pounds of cars. (Answer)
