tons of bark cost

\$29,200.00

. What is the price per pound?

\newline

\$

\_\_\_\_

Convert tons to pounds: First, we need to determine how many pounds are in $5$ tons, since the cost is given for $5$ tons and we want to find the price per pound. $\newline$ $1$ ton is equal to $2000$ pounds. $\newline$ Therefore, $5$ tons is equal to $5 \times 2000$ pounds.
Calculate total pounds: Now, let's calculate the total number of pounds in $5$ tons. $\newline$ Total pounds = $5 \times 2000$ $\newline$ Total pounds = $10000$ pounds
Find price per pound: Next, we have the total cost for these $10,000$ pounds, which is $\$29,200.00$ . To find the price per pound, we divide the total cost by the total number of pounds. Price per pound = $\frac{\text{Total cost}}{\text{Total pounds}}$
Perform division: Let's perform the division to find the price per pound. $\newline$ Price per pound = $\$29,200.00 / 10,000$ pounds $\newline$ Price per pound = $\$2.92$ per pound
