Question

At Greenwood Landscaping, rock costs $47.50 per ton. How much would 2.5 tons cost?

$94.25
$118.75
$107.75
$332.50

Answer 1

$118.75

Explanation:

Okay, we know a rock per ton is $47.50.

What we need to know is how much 2.5 tons cost.

So if we take our 2.5 tons and we multiply it with our $47.50, this is what it will look like:

($47.50 * 2.5) = $118.75

So 2.5 tons of rock costs $118.75

Have a great day! :)

Answer 2

Hey!

Your answer is $118.75!

Step-by-step explanation: How did I get this?

STEP 1: So we know that for a ton of rock costs us $47.50...

To get 2 tons all we have to do is to MULTIPLY $47.50 by 2...

(47.50 x 2 = 95)

STEP 2: So for $95, you will get 2 tons of rock!

Now to get the .5 tons of rock in price form, we have to get the price of the whole 2.5 tons and DIVIDE BY 2

(47.50 ÷ 2 = 23.75)

STEP 3: So now we have the costs for 2 tons and the price for HALF a ton.

What we do now is easy...we ADD THE VALUES TOGTHER!

(95 + 23.75 = $118.75)

The result of $118.75 after adding them together is the PRICE OF 2 TONS!

I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU!
