Given problem:
The ore of a gold mine in the Mountain Province contains, on average, 0.5 grams of gold per ton. One method of processing costs $1,650 per ton and recovers 93% of the gold, while another method costs only $1,500 per ton and recovers 81% of the gold. If gold can be sold at $8,500 per gram, which method is better, and by how much? Consider the income and cost per ton of ore. Solve for the net receipt of each method.
