Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is on rate.
firstly we have to find the rate at which 1 ton is sold
given that 3/8 ton is sold for $24
hence 1 ton will be sold for X
cross multiply
X = 24/3/8
inverse the denominator and multiply the result with the numerator we have
X= 24*8/3
X= $64
Now having found out that 1 ton cost $64
2 tons will cost =64*2
= $128
Therefore at this rate two tons will cost $128
