Answer:

36.1 pounds

Explanation:

Nancy found a large metal bar that contains 38 pounds of gold while mining

She also determined that the bar was 95% gold

The total weight of the metal bar in pounds can be calculated as follows

= 95/100 × 38

= 0.95×38

= 36.1 pounds

Hence the total weight of the metal bar is 36.1 pounds
