multiply 1500 by .6, so jack collected 900. multiply 1500 by .25, so  Marcia collected 375, so the other friends collected 225 cans, because 1500 - 1275 is 225

1500*.6=900, 1500-900=600, 1500*.25=375, 1500-375=1125, 1125-900=225, so the remaining friends have collected 15% of the cans which is a total of 225 cans. Explanation is that we start by finding how much 60% is of 1500 which is 900 now that we have that we need to subtract 900 from 1500 like so which equals 600, now we need to see how much 25% is of 1500 which is 375 then youll take 1500-375=1125 then take 1125-900=225, leaving you with 225 cans that your other friends picked up and then you take 100-60-25=15% so your friends picked up 15% of the remaining cans which is a total of 225 cans.
