A semitruck and its load is measured to weigh 31 tons. A toll is assessed such that $0.01 is paid for every 10 pounds of weight.

What is the amount of the toll this truck should pay

$62

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of the semitruck and its load is 31 tons. Let's convert this to pounds:

1 ton = 2000 lb

31 tons = 2000 * 31 = 62000 lb

We know every 10 lb will be priced at $0.01, so divide 62000 by 10 to find how many times we need to pay $0.01:

62000 ÷ 10 = 6200

Each of these 6200 times, we need to pay $0.01 so multiply these together:

6200 * 0.01 = 62

The answer is $62.

62 $

Step-by-step explanation:

first you convert tons in pounds and get 62000 then divide it by 10 and get 6200 then you multiply by 0.01 and get 62
