Question

Trey’s uncle from Japan promised to give him35g of gold. The local jewelry exchange will buy gold for $1224 per ounce. How much money can Trey get for selling the gold? USE 1oz=28g AND DON'T ROUND COMPUTATIONS

Answer 1

First, we convert from grams to ounces, we know that:

$1oz=28g,$

therefore:

$35g=\frac{1}{28}*35oz.$

Simplifying the above result, we get:

$35g=\frac{5}{4}oz.$

Finally, multiplying the above result by 1224, we get:

$1530.$

Answer:

$1530\text{ dollars.}$
