Answer 1

Answers:

1. 24 cans/lb x 15,000 lb/trailer = 360,000 cans/trailer

2. Answer will depend on your price per can or per pound. For example, if price is 60 cents per pound: $0.60/lb x 15,000 lb = $9,000

3. 15,000 lbs/trailer / 30 lbs/collector = 500 can collectors/trailer

4. 15,000 lbs/trailer / 800 lbs/bale = 18 complete bales (and 3/4 of another bale)/trailer

5. 24 cans/lb x 800 lb/bale = 19,200 cans / bale

6. 100 bales/boxcar x 800 lbs/bale = 80,000 lb. cans / boxcar

7. 100 bales/boxcar x 19,200 cans/bale = 1,920,000 cans / boxcar

8. Answer will depend on your price per can or per pound. For example, if price is 60 cents per pound: $0.60/lb x 80,000 lb/boxcar = $48,000/boxcar
