each silver bar weighed 78 lbs. The price of silver is $7.35 an ounce. How many $ is each silver bar worth?

Answer 1

16 oz per pound - 7.35 x 16 = 117.60 per pound

117.60 x 78 = 9, 172.80

Answer 2

Ok....

There are 16 ounces in 1 pound (lbs)
Therefore if each bar weighed 78lbs they also weighed 1248 ounces (78 x 16).
If the price of silver is $7.35 an ounce then 7.35 x 1248 ounces = $9172.80

Answer 3

(7.35) (78)= X X= price of each silver bar

so 7.35 times 78 lbs X= $573.30

Answer 5

This is a wicked question, but Gerry M has the right of it! Silver is measured in Avoirdupois pounds, but Troy ounces.
1 Avoirdupois pound = 14.583333333333 Troy ounces

78*14.58333*$7.35 = $8,360.62

78*14.58*$7.35 = $8,358.71

Answer 6

two possibilities:

1) avoirdupois ounce: 16 oz = 1pound

78lb x 16 oz/lb x $7.35/oz = $9,172.80

2) troy ounce: 12 0z = 1 pound (this is used in pharmacy and jewellery. This unit is the traditional measure for gold and other precious metals; in particular, the prices of gold and silver quoted in financial markets are the prices per troy ounce.)

78lb x 12 oz/lb x $7.35/oz = $6,879.60

Answer 7

price of silver per pound=$7.35*16
price of a bar of 78pounds=78*7.35*16=$9172.80

Answer 8

Precious metals are measured in "Troy Ounces"
There are 14.58 Troy Ounces in a pound.
14.58 x $7.35 x 78 = $8,358.71

Answer 9

16 ounces to a pound, therefore 16*7.35*78

Answer 10

78*16*7.35=$9172.80
