From the statement, we know that the grain trader buts the following amounts:

• 3200 pounds,

,

• 7200 pounds,

,

• 600 pounds.

To find the total weight of the purchase, we simply add the three quantities:


T=3200\text{pounds}+7200\text{pounds}+600\text{pounds}=11000\text{pounds.}

Now, taking into account that:


1\text{ton}=1000\text{pounds.}

We can write the total weight as:


T=11000\text{pounds}=11\cdot(1000\text{pounds)}=11\cdot(1\text{ton)}=11\text{tons.}

Answer

The total weight of the purchase is 11 tons.
