Answer:
She needs 400,000 more pesos to give to the families
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Let’s say M is the money needed.
A is the given pesos the Mayor solicit.
A=600,000
M=?
F=200
AF=5000
First multiply 200 and 5000
200*5000= 1,000,000
And then, subtract 1,000,000 by 600,000
1,000,000 – 600,000 = 400,000
Final answer is 400,000
