The density of silver is 10.5g / cc. 28.35 grams are in an ounce.
How do you do this problem? Thanks!

This is an example of how using one unit for several different things causes confusion. The once used for the the price of silver in not the unit of volume as in a 12oz soft drink. Also it is not the same unit of mass used for, for example, a 1-1/2oz candy bar, that ounce does equal 28.3495231 grams, but the ounce used for silver equals (according to Google) 1 troy ounce = 31.1034768 grams.
Dividing 31.1 (rounding off to save typing) by the density, 31.1/10.5 gives 1 ounce (of silver) = 2.96cubic centimeters , 1 Liter = 1000cc; 1000/2.96 = 337.84oz of silver per liter; 337.84 x $3.00 = $1013.52.
If one wants to use the number of gram per ounce given in the problem, one can redo the math. I suppose i shouldn't nitpick about the units, avoirdupois ounces make as much sense as $3.00/ounce (not in my lifetime)

1 cc = 1 ml.
Covert your grams to cc using the density.
Then convert to ml and finally liters

I don't know how many ozs in a liter i think 32. Why is the grams important? For Ron b above me, can you show this formula and solve it?
