Question 915817
The number N pf aluminum cans used each year varies directly as the number of people P using the cans.
N = k*P
----
solve for "k" using " 53 people use 14310 cans in one year"
14310 = k*53
k = 270
-----------
Equation:
N = 270*P
---------------
How many cans are used in a city which has a population of 1075000?
N = 270*1075000 = 290250000 cans
