Q. 55 tons of bark cost $32,400.00\$32,400.00. What is the price per pound?\newline$\$____\_\_\_\_
  1. Convert to pounds: Convert the total weight from tons to pounds.\newlineWe know that 11 ton equals 2,0002,000 pounds.\newlineTherefore, 55 tons equals 5×2,0005 \times 2,000 pounds.\newlineCalculation: 5×2,000=10,0005 \times 2,000 = 10,000 pounds.
  2. Calculate price per pound: Calculate the price per pound.\newlineWe have the total cost ($\(32\),\(400\).\(00\)) and the total weight in pounds (\(10\),\(000\) pounds).\(\newline\)Price per pound = Total cost / Total weight in pounds.\(\newline\)Calculation: \(32,400.00 / 10,000 pounds = \)\(3\).\(24\) per pound.
