This is a fairly simple problem. If the scientist collected $32,506 for his project SO FAR, yet he still needs $57,500 to pay for his project. We understand that he has not collected enough money and we now need to figure out how much money the scientist still needs. In order to do this you would have:

$57,500 } Subtract the amount the scientist collected from the total he

-$32,506 } needs in order to figure out how much money is still left to collect

The result is A: $24,994.
