Answer:
$ 115.76
Explanation:
From the question given above:
1 pound of a chemical cost $ 5.25
To obtain the cost of 10 Kg of the compound, we must convert 10Kg to pound. This can be obtained as follow:
1 Kg = 2.205 pound
Therefore,
10 Kg = 10 Kg / 1 Kg × 2.205 pound
10 Kg = 22.05 pound
Therefore, 10 Kg is equivalent to 22.05 pounds
Finally, we shall determine the cost of 22.05 pounds as follow:
1 pound of a chemical cost $ 5.25.
Therefore, 22.05 pounds of the chemical will cost =
22.05 pound / 1 pound × $5.25
= $ 115.76
Therefore, 10 Kg (i.e 22.05 pound) of the chemical cost $ 115.76
