1267 pop tabs= 1 pound 1 kg=2.2 pounds
0.88 cents per kg charged
how many pop tabs are needed to make $1500?
:
Find the number of tabs in 1 kg:
2.2 * 1267 = 2787.4 tab in 1 kg
:
Write a ratio equation
{{{1500/.88}}} = {{{x/2787.4}}}
Cross multiply:
.88x = 1500 * 2787.4
.88x = 4181100
x = {{{4181100/.88}}}
x = 4,751,250 tabs to make $1500 </PRE>
