Question

A student council collects aluminum pop tabs to raise money to purchase a wheel chair. A company buys the pop tabs for $0.88 per kilogram. If 1267 pop tabs have a mass of one pound, how many pop tabs are needed to purchase a wheel chair worth $1500? (Hint 1 kilogram = 2.2 pounds) Show your work

Answer 1

1,520

Explanation:

2.2x1,267=2,787 and 2,787-1,520=1,267 therefore the answer is 1,520 because you subtract 1,520 to get 1,276
