Full solution

Q. 55 tons of topsoil cost $3,100.00\$3,100.00. What is the price per pound?\newline$\$_____
  1. Convert to pounds: Convert the total weight from tons to pounds.\newlineWe know that 11 ton is equal to 2,0002,000 pounds.\newlineSo, 55 tons is equal to 5×2,0005 \times 2,000 pounds.\newline5×2,000=10,0005 \times 2,000 = 10,000 pounds.
  2. Calculate price per pound: Calculate the price per pound.\newlineWe have the total cost ($\(3\),\(100\).\(00\)) and the total weight in pounds (\(10\),\(000\) pounds).\(\newline\)To find the price per pound, we divide the total cost by the total weight in pounds.\(\newline\)\(\$3,100.00 \div 10,000 \text{ pounds} = \$0.31 \text{ per pound}.\)
