Question

In 2012, the cost of 3 ounces of silver was $2,460. What was the cost for 1 ounce?

Answer 1

Answer:

853.33

Step-by-step explanation:

So if three ounces of silver was $2,460 and you need to find the cost for one, you divide.

You divide the total cost for three ounces by how many ounces you got to get the unit rate.

$2,460 ÷ 3 = 853.33333...

The best solution to avoid an infinite answer is to round you answer down the the nearest hundredth which is 3.

Your final answer should be $853.33 per ounce of silver.

Answer 2

Answer:

820 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

$2,460 divided by 3 = 820 ounces

820 x 3 = $2,460
