A country's people consume
6.7
billion pounds of candy (excluding chewing gum) per year. Express this quantity in terms of pounds per person per month. Note that the population of the country is
302
million.
6.7 billion = 6,700,000,000
302 million = 302,000,000
So
6.700,000,000 / 302,000,000 ≈ 22.19 lbs per year
22.19 / 12 ≈ 1.85 lbs per person per month
Misplaced the decimal point =~1.85 lbs per person.
Thanks for catching my typo, guest.....!!!
