Answer:
Hence, the amount that Robert will be paid for his 330 cans is:
330 cents.
Step-by-step explanation:
Robert collected 330 aluminum cans.
If 100 aluminum cans weigh 4 pounds and the recycling center is paying 25 cents a pound.
This means weight of 1 aluminium can=4/100 pounds.
This means that the weight of 330 aluminium cans is:
[tex]\dfrac{4}{100}\times 330\\\\=\dfrac{132}{10}\\\\=13.2\ \text{pounds}[/tex]
Also cost of 1 pound cans= 25 cents.
Hence cost of 13.2 pounds cans= 25×13.2
= 330 cents.
Hence, Robert will be paid:
330 cents.
