To find out how much was raised during the first 3 months, we need to calculate 37% of the total goal.
37% of $2,000 is (37/100) * $2,000 = $<<(37/100)*2000=740>>740.
Therefore, $740 was raised during the first 3 months. Hence, the correct answer is $740.
To find out how much was raised during the first 3 months, we need to calculate 37% of the total goal of $2,000.
First, we convert 37% to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 37/100 = 0.37.
Then, we multiply the decimal by the total goal: 0.37 x $2,000 = $740.
Therefore, the correct answer is $740.
