Question

4 tons of compost cost $5,360.00. What is the price per pound?

$

Answer 1

First, you have to convert the tons to pounds. Then you divide the cost by the number of pounds to find the cost per pound. There are 2000 pounds in a ton.
2000 * 4 = 8000
5,360.00 / 8000 = .67

The cost of compost per pound in $0.67.

Hope this helps. Good luck! :)
