Answer:

Price of one pound of mercury

$x=\$ 2.06$

Price of one cubic inch of mercury

$z=\$1.0$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

Mass of mercury
M= 76pound

Price of 76 pound
$P=\$162$

Density of mercury is
$\rho=13.534 g/cm3.$

Generally the cost of one pound of Mercury x will mathematically be given as

x=(162)/(76)

$x=\$ 2.13$

Generally the cost of one gram of Mercury G will mathematically be given as

1pound = 453.92g

$G=2.06/453.93\\G=\$4.6*10^-^3$

Generally the cost of one cubic centimetre of Mercury c will mathematically be given as

$13.5= 1cm^3\ of\ Mercury$

$c=\$6.33*10^-^2$

Generally the cost of one cubic inch of Mercury z will mathematically be given as

z=0.0614*16.4

$z=\$1.0$
