First, we need to convert the weight of the gold to total ounces. There are 16 ounces in a pound, so:
4 pounds 8 ounces = (4 x 16) + 8 = 72 ounces
Next, we need to determine the total weight of each box. Since we know that two boxes together weigh 72 ounces, we can divide by 2 to get the weight of a single box:
72 ounces / 2 = 36 ounces per box
To find the total value of the gold, we need to multiply the weight of each box by the value per ounce:
36 ounces x $400/ounce = $14,400 per box
Finally, since there are two boxes of gold, we can multiply the value per box by 2 to get the total value of both boxes:
$14,400 x 2 = $28,800
Therefore, the boxes of gold are worth $28,800.
