If I have a plastic water jug with some quarters in it. As a whole it weighs 36 lbs. If a quarter weighs 5.670 grams, how much money do I have? I do not know how much the jug weighs, just looking for an estimation. Thanks for your help!

1 lb = 453.6 g. so ...
36 pounds = 16329.6 grams
This means your jug wieghs 16329.6 grams and with each quarter weighing 5.670 grams that gives you 2880 quarters.
Divide the 2880 by 4 and get 720 dollars! - the jug weight.

$720
a quarter is 0.012500210265882558 of a pound.
That times 4 = 0.050000841063530232
36/0.05000084106353023 ~ $720

1 pound = 453.59237 grams
So, you have approx. 90 quarters per pound or $22.50 per pound which is about $810.00. Check my math...I usually suck at math!
