The answer is 5.5 cans. You figure this by basic division: (2200 units) / (400 units per can) = 5.5 cans
4 quarters = 1 dollar. A quarter is a bit like, but not exactly equivalent to, 25p and ditto for a pound.
One pound = 454 grams (rounded).
Flattening an aluminum can makes no difference to its weight. However, a bag full of flattened aluminum cans will weigh much more than a bag full of unflattened aluminum cans, simply because you can fit many more cans in the bag.
Rounded: 30 cans.
50 to 60 aluminum cans per kilogram equating to approximtely 50,000 cans per tonne (1000kg) Answer: There are approximately 35 aluminum cans to a pound. As there are 2240 lbs in a ton then there are about 80,000 aluminum cans in a ton. (35 x 2240 = 78400) Aluminium is currently worth £780 per ton. This is equivalent to about 1p per can. (78000p x 78400cans = 0.99p)
It takes 16oz to make a pound, if you have a 24 ounce can then you only need 2/3's of the can to make your pound.
44 cents a pound for aluminum cans. if you are a scrapper collecting siding and such, then i think its only 40 cents or 41 cents a pound. i think a case of beer is about a little less than a pound empty cans. just imagine how many empty cases of beer you need to drink to buy another one for 12 bucks prices may be different around places. i priced a few places in the Chicago area. Baltimore metal inc pays 75 cents a pound for aluminum cans elgin recycle 44 cents a pound south shore is 35 cents a pound. Average is 40 cents a pound Scrap aluminum pricing depends on how clean/prepared your aluminum scrap is as well as the grade of aluminum scrap metal. Some basic pricing as of June 2011 is Aluminum Cans $0.67/lb Aluminum Cans - Crushed $0.70/lb Painted Aluminum Siding $0.60/lb Extruded Aluminum $0.70/lb Sheet Aluminum $0.52/lb Always make sure that the scrap yard you are dealing with is paying close to Comex/LME Pricing.

This is an experiment you may conduct for yourself. Just get a few dozen cans, and weigh them. Hint, 40 should be enough.
It takes 20 times less energy to make a can from recycled aluminum, so, just counting the energy (ignoring the costs of mining and transport), you could make 320 cans out of recycled aluminum for the same cost as 16 cans from bauxite (aluminum ore).
A lot
Aluminum Scrap Metal will usually be priced somewhere between 20 cents per pound to 70 cents per pound. (As of 2016, the national average for recycled aluminum cans was about 50 cents per pound.) Lower grades of aluminum or dirty aluminum (aluminum mixed with other materials or having insulation) will command a lower value then clean heavy aluminum scrap. for example - see some example aluminum scrap prices below for mid June 2011, the price per pound. Old Sheet Aluminum $ 0.63 Extruded Aluminum $ 0.90 Irony Aluminum $ 0.18 --- *There is a fixed "deposit" price for beverage cans in California, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, New York, Oregon, and Vermont.
Empty, 28 cans make up a pound. I have a gram scale and a dried out empty coke can weighs just over 13.8 grams. 1 lbs = approx 454 grams 454 grams / 13.8 = 32.89855..... So if you asked me I'd say the number of typical soda cans in a pound is approx. 33
Recycling one aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for three hours, or half a gallon of gas. It takes 95% less energy to recycle it than it does to make from raw materials, and can run a computer for 5 hours and also a hoover for 6 hours! See the video in the related link below.
