At $12 per cwt. what cost 5 cwt. 3 qrs. of sugar? Note. 5 cwt. 3 qrs. is 53 cwt., that is 5.75 cwt. 2. At $25 per cwt., what cost 37 cwt. 3 qrs. 14 lb. of toDacco ? Note. The quarters and pounds may first be reduced to a common fraction and then to decimals. 3 qrs. 14 lb. are 98 lb., that is 9 of 1 cwt., and 9.875; therefore, 37 ewt. 3 qrs. 14 lb. is equal to 37.875 cwt.; this multiplied by 25 gives $946.875. 3. What cost 5 cwt. 2 qrs. 19 lb. of raisins, at $11 per cwt.? 4. What cost 13 cwt. 1 qr. 15 lb. of iron, at $4.27 per ewt. ? 2 Note. 13 cwt. 1 qr. 15 lb.=134 cwt.-13.383+cwt. This multiplied by $4.27 gives $57.14541. Observe, that there must be as many decimal places in the product as in the multiplicand and multiplier together. In this instance there are five places. It is not necessary to notice any thing smaller than mills in the result, therefore $57.145 will be sufficiently exact for the answer. 5.
