I have only begun my Freshman Year of High School, and therefore I can only answer #2. Assuming they arrived at camp somewhere in the afternoon on the 188th day, take the amount of coffee and create a proportion for ounces of coffee/pound of coffee. Do this for all 27 pounds of coffee, because there are only three pounds left, and divide it by the amount of days the travel took. This method of solving will give you the answer.
We need to subtract: the scientist needed 57,500 dollars, but already had 32,506, so we need to find what's left: 57,500 - 32,506 = 24,992 dollars
Your answer is A. Hope that helps! :)
