Exercise 3.7 Refer to pages 3-12 to 3-14

Calculate the total amount for each of the following transaction items (C=100; M=1,000; cwt = 3
100 lbs.; T = 2,000 lbs).

48. 1,730 ft @ $42.68 per C 49. 2,612lb @ $17.73 per cwt
(1,730 / 100) x $42.68 = $738.36 (2,612 / 100) x $17.73 = $463.11

50. 574 ft @ $8.36 per C 51. 3,450 lb @ $9.75 per cwt
(574 / 100) x $8.36 = $47.99 (3,450 / 100) x $9.75 = $336.38

52. 3,100 M @ $56.50 per M 53. 17,220 @ $24.25 per M
(3,100 / 1,000) x $56.50 = $175.15 (17,220 / 1,000) x $24.25 = $417.59

54. 5,140 lb @ $45.24 per T 55. 22,500 lb @ $15.75 per T
(5,140 / 2,000) x $45.24 = $116.27 (22,500 / 2,000) x $15.75 = $177.19

56. 822 ft @ $5.25 per C 57. 22,500 @ $ 74.25 per M
(822 / 100) x $5.25 = $43.16 (22,500 / 1,000) x $74.25 = $1,670.63

58. 954 lb @ $ 24.80 per cwt 59. 17,220 lb @ $ 24.25 per T

(954/ 100) x $24.80 = $236.59 (17,220 / 2,000) x $24.25 = $208.79
