The charity should collect 600 cans of food
Number of families that the charity asked to donate food = 150
80% of the families donated 5 cans of food
Number of families that actually donated 5 cans of food = (80/100) x 150
Number of families that actually donated 5 cans of food = 0.8 x 150
Number of families that actually donated 5 cans of food = 120
Number of cans donated by each family = 5
Number of cans donated by 120 families = 5 x 120
Number of cans donated by 120 families = 600
