Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
BTW This was a scam that went around for many years.
1265*2.2= 2783 one kilo of tabs
2500=.75*x
x=3333.33 kilos needed
3333.33*2783= 927665739/100 = 9276657 + 39/100 number of tabs needed
Since they don't buy part of a tab they need 9276658 tabs
