A wholesaler receives an order of 12,000 pounds of produce. If the cost of shipping is $85 per ton, how much will the wholesaler have to pay for this shipment?

Respuesta :

$510
Since 1 ton equals 2000 pounds, divide 12000 by 2000, which equals 6. Therefore there is 6 tons, so 6 x 85 equals 510

Answer:

510$

Step-by-step explanation:

2000 pounds is a ton, so if we do 2000x6 we get 12000

so then we will have to do the same to 85, 85x6=510
