Flynn’s class is raising money for a tree-planting charity by recycling electronics. They have found a local company that will give them \(\$5\) for each pound of cell phone e-waste and \(\$2\) for each pound of computer e-waste.
The school has gathered the following electronics for recycling, but has weighed them in grams instead of pounds.
| Cell Phones | Computers |
|---|---|
| \(10\) uPhones: \(200\) g each | \(5\) Bonobo laptops: \(800\) g each |
| \(5\) Mixel phones: \(100\) g each | \(7\) uPads: \(500\) g each |
Knowing that \(1\) pound is about \(454\) g, estimate how much money Flynn’s class will make. Justify your answer.
