    The total number of fliers the volunteers gave out is 1,368: 756 in the first neighborhood and 612 in the second.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

    Amount of fliers the volunteers gave for a political campaign = 21/38

    Remaining 612 were given out in another neighborhood

    2. What is the total number of fliers they gave out?

    x = Total of fliers

    21x/38 = Fliers given out in the first neighborhood

    612 = Fliers given out in the second neighborhood

    Let's solve for x, this way:

    x - 21x/38 = 612

    38x - 21x = 612 * 38 (38 is the Lowest Common Denominator)

    17x = 23,256

    x = 23,256/17

    x = 1,368

    The total number of fliers the volunteers gave out is 1,368: 756 in the first neighborhood and 612 in the second.
