Question

If apples cost $1.18/lb, how many grams (g) of apples may be purchased for $20.00? Round to 3 Digits.

Answer 1

Explanation:

First calculate how many pounds of apples you can buy for 20 dollars.

20/1.18 = 16.949 pounds

Now convert that to grams

1 pound = 454 grams

16.949 = x

Cross multiply

1 x = 16.949 * 454

x = 7694.915 grams.

Round to 3 digits

9690 grams.
