Question

3 tons of bark cost $12,060.00. What is the price per pound?

Answer 1

$2.01

Explanation:

Convert 3 tons to pound

1 ton = 2,000 pounds.

3 x 2,000 = 6,000

Now divide the $ and the pounds to find the $ per pound rate

12,060 ÷ 6,000 = 2.01

Answer 2

the cost is $ 2.01 per pound of barks.

Explanation:

3 tons → $12,060

conversion:

1 tons ↔ 2000 pounds

3 tons ↔ 6000 pounds

solve:

6000 pounds → $12,060

1 pounds → $
`(12,060)/(6000)`

1 pounds → $ 2.01
