Greg collected cash donations for a local food bank as part of a service project. He collected $400 altogether. He had expected to collect 37.5% less than that. How much money had Greg expected to collect?

To find out how much Greg expected to collect, we first need to determine what 37.5% of the amount he actually collected ($400) is.

1. Calculate 37.5% of $400: \[ 0.375 \times 400 = 150 \]

2. Subtract this amount from the actual total to find out what he expected: \[ 400 - 150 = 250 \]

Thus, Greg had expected to collect $250.
