Gravel Cost Per Ton Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Gravel Cost Per Ton:

\[ GCT = \frac{GC}{\left(\frac{W}{2000}\right)} \]

Where:

$GCT$ is the gravel cost per ton (\$/ton)
$GC$ is the total gravel cost (\$)
$W$ is the weight of gravel (lbs)

What is the Average Gravel Cost Per Ton?

The average cost per ton of gravel is approximately \$35.00 to \$50.00 per ton. The average price for gravel per ton depends on many factors including the size of the gravel.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Total Gravel Cost (GC) = \$500
Weight of Gravel (W) = 20000 lbs

Step 1: Use the formula:

\[ GCT = \frac{500}{\left(\frac{20000}{2000}\right)} = 50 \]

Step 2: Display the result:

The gravel cost per ton (GCT) is \$50.00.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Total Gravel Cost (GC) = \$350
Weight of Gravel (W) = 14000 lbs

Step 1: Use the formula:

\[ GCT = \frac{350}{\left(\frac{14000}{2000}\right)} = 50 \]

Step 2: Display the result:

The gravel cost per ton (GCT) is \$50.00.
