10,000 tons x 2,000=20,000,000 pounds

20,000,000/15= 1,333,333 15 pound loads

1,333,333 x 0.005 (the half cent gained for each 15 pound load)= $6,666.67


Not sayin', just sayin'.
How many man hours goes into writing up tickets and counting out $0.97?

My yard uses full size paper for receipts so 500 sheets in a box at $20 a box come to $.04 x 1,333,333=$53,333

Maybe 2 minuets per transaction so 2,666,666/60=44,444 man hours at 10 bucks an hour is $444,440

444,000+53,333=$497,773

15# x 33=495# so lets say people brought in 495# loads instead of 15# loads.

$497,773/33=$15,084

So I'm no business genius but I bet they would rather buy #495 and give you an extra half penny than buy #15 and keep the half penny.

LOL that was fun haha
