Answer:
$ 128 for 2 tons
Step-by-step explanation:
3/8 ton is $24
2 ton is $?
→to keep the proportion the same we write
?$ / 2 ton = $24/ (3/8)
→rewrite 24/ (3/8) as (24/1) *(8/3) because if we divide by a fraction is the same as multiplying by it's inverse
? / 2 = 24*8/ 3
→solve to find the unknown amount of money
? = 24*8*2 /3
? = 128
