Answer:
$62
Step-by-step explanation:
The total weight of the semitruck and its load is 31 tons. Let's convert this to pounds:
1 ton = 2000 lb
31 tons = 2000 * 31 = 62000 lb
We know every 10 lb will be priced at $0.01, so divide 62000 by 10 to find how many times we need to pay $0.01:
62000 ÷ 10 = 6200
Each of these 6200 times, we need to pay $0.01 so multiply these together:
6200 * 0.01 = 62
The answer is $62.
