To make one unit of the finished product, the total amount (in pounds) of the material needed is,

m = 110,000 lbs - 100,000 lbs

= 10,000 lbs/unit

To determine how much of this is needed for 44,000 units, we just have to multiply the calculated amount by the number of units.

total mass = (44,000 units) (10,000 lb/unit)

= 440,000,000 lbs
