Q.

4

tons of sand cost

\$3,760.00

. What is the price per pound?

\newline

\$

_____

Convert pounds to ton: First, gotta figure out how many pounds are in a ton. I remember it's $2000$ pounds in one ton.
Calculate total weight in pounds: So, if $1$ ton is $2000$ pounds, then $4$ tons is $4$ times that, which is $8000$ pounds.
Find price per pound: Now, to find the price per pound, I'll divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds. So that's $\$3,760.00$ divided by $8000$ pounds.
Calculate cost per pound: Doing the math, $\$3,760.00$ divided by $8000$ pounds is $\$0.47$ per pound.
