After 60 days, the organization has 40 days to raise an additional $100,000
So the average number of dollars per day it must raise = $100,000/40 = 10,000/4 = 2,500

Answer: A

Since the organization has to raise $100,000 in the remaining 40 days, the average number of dollars per day that it must raise for the last 40 days in order to achieve its goal is 100,000/40 = $2,500.
