The total number of matchbooks required would 5,000 be and the cost would be $144

Mathematical ratios

50 matchbooks = $1.44

Each matchbook = 0.005 grams red phosphorus

25 grams of red phosphorus is needed:

                                 25/0.005 = 5,000 matchbooks

5,000 matchbooks will cost:

                         5000/50 x 1.44 = $144
