2 tons of topsoil cost $2,360.00. What is the price per pound?

Question

I am very confused about this topic can someone possibly help me?

Answer 1

Find out how many tons in one pound.  Then multiply the number by 2 to find the number of pounds in 2 tons.  Finally divide the cost by the amount of pounds (equivalent to 2 tons).

Answer 2

Of course.

You have to know that one ton is 2,000 pounds.

$2360/4,000 lbs = ___________ cost per lb.  Do the arithmetic on a calculator.
