Officials estimate that 320,000 Boston-area partygoers attended last year's Independence Day celebration on the banks of the Charles River. They also estimate that the partygoers left behind 40 tons of garbage. Given that a ton equals 2,000 pounds, how many pounds of garbage did the average partygoer leave behind?

40 ton x 2000 = 80,000 pounds

320000/8000 = 40 pounds per person
