)) 4 tons of compost cost $3,840.00. What is the price per pound?

Answer 1

To find the price per pound, we need to convert the 4 tons of compost to pounds.

1 ton = 2000 pounds

So, 4 tons = 4 * 2000 = 8000 pounds.

Now, we can find the price per pound by dividing the total cost of $3,840 by the number of pounds:

Price per pound = $3,840 / 8000 pounds

Price per pound = $0.48

Therefore, the price per pound of compost is $0.48.
