Answer provided by our tutors

Let 'x' represent the number of shelving units required.

Assuming each shelve is 36 inches wide and there 6 shelves per unit then 1 unit can fit 36*6 = 216 in or 216 charts.

216x >= 758,200 divide both sides by 2160

x >= 758,200/216

x >= 3,612.04

Since is integer, the number of shelving units required is 3,613 units.
