What will be the cost of 275 bags of sugar containing 98 pounds each at $0.12 a pound?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
I got 11.76?
Does that answer make sense to you?
What happened to the other 274 bags?
To calculate the cost of 275 bags of sugar, we need to multiply the number of bags by the cost per pound and the weight per bag.
First, multiply the weight per bag (98 pounds) by the cost per pound ($0.12) to find the cost of one bag:
98 pounds * $0.12/pound = $11.76
Next, multiply the cost of one bag by the number of bags (275) to find the total cost:
$11.76 * 275 = $3,234
Therefore, the cost of 275 bags of sugar, each containing 98 pounds and priced at $0.12 per pound, will be $3,234.
