Question

The Big Falcon Rocket (BFR or Starship) from Space X can carry approximately 220,000 pounds. If they only carried $100 bills, how much money can they carry?

Answer 1

$9,979,032,100 or $9.979 billion

Explanation:

The approximate weight of a $100 bill is 1 gram.

All of the calculations bellow assume that the volume of the bills would not be an issue and only concerns weight.

1 pound is equivalent to approximately 453.59237 grams.

The weight in grams that the Big Falcon Rocket can carry is:

`W= 220,000*453.59237=99,790,321.4\ g`

Since each bill weighs 1 gram, the number of bills it could carry, rounded to nearest whole bill is 99,790,321. The total amount it could carry is:

`A=99,790,321*\$100=\$9,979,032,100`
