Ahome building contractor bought 4 2/8 acres for $165,000. what was the cost of each acre? (round to nearest dollar.)

$38,824

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert the mixed number as a decimal number.

Divide the numerator by the denominator and add it to the whole number 4. Then:

Then, knowing that 4.25 acres cost $165,000 , divide this amount by 4.25 acres to find the cost of each acre.

Therefore, you get that the cost of each acre rounded to nearest dollar is:

$ 38,824

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Area of land that was bought = acres

Total Cost of this area = $ 165,000

We have to find the cost of 1 acre of land.

Cost of acres of land = $ 165,000

Dividing both sides by , we get:

Cost of 1 acre of land = $ 165,000 ÷

= $ 38,824

Thus the cost of each acre of land  is $ 38,824 (rounded to nearest dollar)

i think the amount would be $140.62
