$717,759,803$ pounds of cream cheese were produced in the U.S. in 2010.

Work Step by Step

Cream cheese made up $7.1\%$ of the total cheese production of the U.S. in 2010. If 10,109,293,000 pounds of cheese were produced in 2010, then the amount of cream cheese produced during the year is: $=7.1\%(10,109,293,000) \\=0.071((10,109,293,000)) \\=717,759,803$
