The amount of lbs was 200, you simply need to double the percentages, I hope this helps.

Answer 2

A: 80 pounds of paper, B: 14 pounds of glass

Explanation:

A:

If Tom's family disposes of 200 pounds of solid waste, and paper makes up 40% of that waste, you multiply 200*40% or 200*0.4 to get the answer which is 80 pounds of paper.

B:

If Tom's family disposes of 200 pounds of solid waste, and glass makes up 7% of that, you multiply 200*7% or 200*0.07 to get an answer of 14 pounds of glass.
