not enoug variables

OpenStudy (anonymous):

...It's a trick question... the doesn't pay anything... because you can throw out trash for free..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and it doesn't cost extra to throw out glass either.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

he doesn't*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

madscientist you assume too much

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there is no answer to this question as no price was provided for the glass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we don't know where in america he lives either which makes the answer even harder to answer for sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cuddlepony... I was joking, hahahahah XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well it all depends on how you interpret the question how much did he pay is a vague question and is open for interpretation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha actually guys.. i made a typo! :p i ment to say.. What percent of the trash is glass

OpenStudy (anonymous):

percentage is just a ratio between the two numbers multipled by 100 so (110/1800lb)*100 you should look questions like these up

OpenStudy (anonymous):

https://www.wolframalpha.com/ or make an attemp to understand division :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm in a bad mood can you tell lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

to remember percent though it is (number you have/number it is out of )* 100
