Question 254611: A company buys pop tabs for $0.75 per kilogram. if 1265 pop tabs have a mass of one pound, how many pop tabs are needed to purchase a wheelchair worth $2500? Hint: 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds. 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
