The Environment Club collected pull tabs from aluminum drink cans to raise money. Their goal was to collect 175 pull tabs. Which equation can be used to find the number of pull tabs (p) needed to reach their goal.
(A) 175 - 65 = p
(B) 175 + 65 = p
(C) 175 - 137 = p
(D) 175 + 137 = p
Since the boys have collected 65 tabs and girls have collected 72,they have a total of 137. Their goal is 175, so they need to subtract the amount they have from the amount they need, which is 175-137 (C)
