A works replaces 5 per cent of its 3,000 tonnes of daily raw meal with an alternative material. How much quarried stone does it save in a 300-day year?

  • A.450 tonnes
  • B.150,000 tonnes
  • C.45,000 tonnes
  • D.4,500 tonnes

Answer: C

Five per cent of 3,000 tonnes is 150 tonnes a day, and over 300 days that is 45,000 tonnes. A seemingly small substitution rate translates into a very substantial saving across a year. Substitution rates are quoted per tonne but judged on the annual total.
