Question

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!

how land in the Northwest Territory was divided. Each township consisted of a 6-mile-by-6-mile section of land that was then divided into 36 one-mile-square sections. That means one township is 3,840 acres. Some of the land in the Old Northwest sold for as little as eight cents per acre. At that rate, how much would a speculator in the late-eighteenth century pay for one section of land? (Keep in mind today an acre goes for roughly $50,000.
