Q. 4 tons of rocks cost $4,640.00. What is the price per pound?$_____
Convert tons to pounds: First, we need to determine how many pounds are in 4 tons since the cost is given for 4 tons and we want to find the price per pound.We know that 1 ton is equal to 2,000 pounds.So, 4 tons is equal to 4×2,000 pounds.
Calculate total pounds: Now, let's calculate the total number of pounds in 4 tons.4×2,000=8,000 pounds.
Find cost per pound: Next, we will divide the total cost by the total number of pounds to find the cost per pound.The total cost is $4,640.00, and we have 8,000 pounds.So, $4,640.00÷8,000 pounds = $0.58 per pound.
