Question
At the bank, penny rolls are weighed to determine the amount of money they contain. If 1 penny weighs 2.35 g, how much money is in a pile of rolls weighing 4.72 kg?(Answer to 2 decimals, as in dollars and cents.)
Solution
First, we need to convert the weight of the penny rolls from kilograms to grams because the weight of a single penny is given in grams.
1 kg = 1000 g
So, 4.72 kg = 4.72 * 1000 = 4720 g
Next, we need to find out how many pennies are in the pile of rolls. We do this by dividing the total weight of the rolls by the weight of a single penny.
4720 g / 2.35 g/penny = 2008.51 pennies
Since 1 penny is equal to 0.01.
2008.51 pennies * 20.09
So, a pile of rolls weighing 4.72 kg contains approximately $20.09.
