Question

A contractor bought 34 loads of soil each weighing 12 tonnes at $13 per tonne. What was the total cost?

Answer 1

$5304

Explanation:

One load of soil is 12 tons.

Multiply 34 with 12: 34 x 12 = 408 tonnes in all.

Next, multiply the cost per tonne with the amount of tonnes:

408 x 13 = 5304

$5304 is the total cost.
