Conrad is buying firewood for the winter. Firewood is being sold for $172.00/cord, but Conrad estimates he will need 308 kg. If the conversion factor is 375 kg/cord, how much will he spend on firewood? (use 5 decimal places for the cord and put your final answer to the nearest HUNDREDTH....even though we know you cannot buy a partial cord!!)

Solution

Step 1: Determine the amount of firewood Conrad needs in cords. To do this, divide the total weight he needs (308 kg) by the conversion factor (375 kg/cord).

308 kg ÷ 375 kg/cord = 0.82133 cords

Step 2: Calculate the total cost. Multiply the amount of firewood Conrad needs in cords (0.82133 cords) by the cost per cord ($172.00/cord).

0.82133 cords x 172.00/cord=172.00/cord = 141.19

So, Conrad will spend approximately $141.19 on firewood.
