Glen is collecting aluminum cans to earn money he has 5 bags that hold an average of 300 cans each if he gets $2 for every 450 can about how much money will he get

Calculate the number of cans he can collect
Every bags hold 300 cans, so the number of cans will be
the cans = the number of bags × the number of cans each bag
the cans = 5 × 300
the cans = 6,000
He can collect 6,000 cans

Calculate the amount of money he will get
If $2 is the money he gets for collecting 450 cans, then x will be the money he gets for collecting 6,000 cans. Make a comparison.


Plug in the numbers


solve for x by moving 6,000 to the right side. Because on the left side, it's a divisor, after moved out to the right side it will become a multiplier.



simplify

x = 26.67

He will get about $26.67
