Lets just treat this as a conversion problem
.
(1267 tabs / #)* (2.2 # / kg)*( 1kg/$.88) * ($ 1500) = 4, 751, 250 tabs
.
checking
.
4, 751 , 250 tabs *( 1# / 1267 tabs)*( 1 kg/2.2#)*( $ .88/ kg) = $ 1500

:
Find the number of tabs in 1 kg:
2.2 * 1267 = 2787.4 tab in 1 kg
:
Write a ratio equation
1500%2F.88 = x%2F2787.4
Cross multiply:
.88x = 1500 * 2787.4
.88x = 4181100
x = 4181100%2F.88
x = 4,751,250 tabs to make $1500
