Question
Chandra is buying firwood for winter. Firewood is being sold for $179.00 / cord, but Chandra estimates he will need 300 kg. If the conversion factor is 375 kg/cord, how much will it he need to spend on firewood?
Solution
Step 1: Determine how many cords of firewood Chandra will need.
To do this, divide the total weight Chandra needs (300 kg) by the conversion factor (375 kg/cord).
300 kg ÷ 375 kg/cord = 0.8 cords
Step 2: Calculate the total cost.
Multiply the number of cords Chandra needs (0.8 cords) by the cost per cord ($179.00/cord).
0.8 cords * 143.20
So, Chandra will need to spend $143.20 on firewood.
