Question

Trey’s uncle from Japan promised to give him35g of gold. The local jewelry exchange will buy gold for $1224 per ounce. How much money can Trey get for selling the gold? USE 1oz=28g AND DON'T ROUND COMPUTATIONS

Answer 1

First, we convert from grams to ounces, we know that:

`1oz=28g,`

therefore:

`35g=(1)/(28)*35oz.`

Simplifying the above result, we get:

`35g=(5)/(4)oz.`

Finally, multiplying the above result by 1224, we get:

`1530.`

Answer:

`1530\text{ dollars.}`
