Ted's class collects aluminum cans to sell to the recycling center. The center pays $0.002 for each kilogram of aluminum.

Write a formula that will help Ted determine how much money his class will receive for the cans.

Let's let

t= total amount they'll receive

n= number of kilograms of cans

Verified Answer :

i think its   0.002n=t

t = .002 * n

And "t" actually stands for "tragic". These kids are being ripped off big time.

Scrap aluminum hovers around $.70 pound, which is around a buck and a half per kg, and the thieves at the recycling plant are paying out less than a tenth of a cent per pound to these kids?
