Explanation:

in the strange US system there is suddenly a metric relationship :

1 ton = 2000 pounds.

FYI - an actual (metric) ton is 1000 kg, which is

2,204.6226218488 pounds.

anyway, as 1 ton = 2000 pounds, then 4 tons = 4×2000 = 8000 pounds.

8000 pounds cost $28,080.00.

1 pound costs therefore

28080/8000 = $3.51
