Question

A research study reports that an average person purchases 320 granola bars per year. If there are 262 million people in the country, how many granola bars are purchased by the whole country in one year?

Answer 1

To find out how many granola bars are purchased by the whole country in one year, we can multiply the average number of granola bars purchased by one person (320) by the total number of people in the country (262 million):

320 granola bars/person * 262,000,000 people = 83,840,000,000 granola bars

Therefore, the whole country purchases 83,840,000,000 granola bars in one year.
