They collected 1500 cans because 1200x. 25=300 and then you add 300 to 1200 to get 1500 cans.

To answer this question, you must find 25% of 1,200 and add that to 1,200.

is/1,200 = 25/100

1,200 * 25 = 30,000

30,000 / 100 = 300

25%, or 1/4 of 1,200 is 300. Add 300 to 1,200 to get 1,500. That is the amount of cans that the youth group collected.
