Question

hang's uncle from Japan promised to give him 21 g of gold. The local jewelry exchange will buy gold for $1152 per ounce. How much money can Chang get for selling the gold?

Answer 1

Answer:

Chang get $853.35 for selling the gold.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how much money can Chang get for selling the gold we have to know the conversion between ounces and grams.

We know that 1 ounce is equivalent to 28.3495 grams.

Then, if Chang sold the 21 g that receive from his uncle, the amount of money he gets is:

$M=21\,g\,\cdot\dfrac{1\,oz}{28.3495\,g}\,\cdot \dfrac{\ 1,152}{1\,oz}=\dfrac{21*1,152}{28.3495}=\ \,853.35$

Chang get $853.35 for selling the gold.
