Question

Adam can earn money recycling aluminium cans.

Each can weighs 15 g, and he can get paid 50p per kg.


If Adam earns £15, how many cans has he recycled

Answer 1

Answer:

Weight of each can = 15g

Price for recycling each can = £50/kg

Total amount received = £15

Weight of recycled cans = 15/50 = 3/10 = 0.3kg = 300g

No of cans = 300/15 = 20cans

Answer 2

Answer:

2000 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

for one rupee he should sell 2 kgs

so for 15 rupees he should sell 15*2= 30 kgs

each can weight = 15g

so number of cans = 30000 g/15 g

= 2000 cans
