0.10 per pound.
To find the price per pound, we need to know how many pounds are in 5 tons.
1 ton = 2,000 pounds
5 tons = 5 x 2,000 = 10,000 pounds
Then, we divide the total cost ($1,000) by the number of pounds (10,000):
$1,000 รท 10,000 = $0.10
Therefore, the price per pound is $0.10 or 10 cents.
