How many meat pieces do i need?

Question

A guy neesds 5 meat pieces and he gives me 2000 xp back, how many pieces do i need to give him to reach 670 000 xp?

Answer 1

You can set up a proportion to figure this out.

5 pieces of meat rewards 2,000 xp so put 5 over 2,000. You want to know how many pieces will reward 670,000 xp so place x over 670,000. Let x represent the number of pieces of meat we need.

5/2,000 = x/670,000

Next, cross multiply:

5 * 670,000 = x * 2,000

3,350,000 = 2,000x

Next, divide both sides by 2,000.

3,350,000/2,000 = 1,675.

You will need 1,675 pieces of meat to gain 670,000 xp.

Hope this helps!
