Answer 1

$17,640

Explanation:

Stuco wants to start a new project to help with trash removal. They need $15 to buy supplies at the local landfill and they charge 75 per pound. If the Senior Class collects 235 pounds of trash, the cost is going to be $17,640.

235 ⋅ 75 = 17,625

17,625 + 15 = 17,640

Therefore, the answer is $17,640.
