Question:
A local group of scouts has been collecting old aluminum cans for recycling. The group has already collected 12,000 lb of cans, for which they could currently receive $4 per hundred pounds. The group can continue to collect cans at the rate of 400 lb per day. However, a glut in the oldcan market has caused the recycling company to announce that it will lower its price, starting immediately, by $0.10 per hundred pounds per day. The scouts can make only one trip to the recycling center. How many days should they wait in order to receive $490 for their cans?
