Solution

Let's solve this step by step:

Step 1: According to the problem, 2 elephants cost 4800.So,1elephantcosts4800. So, 1 elephant costs 4800 / 2 = $2400.

Step 2: The problem also states that 50 goats cost the same as 3 elephants. So, 1 goat costs 2400(costof1elephant)/50=2400 (cost of 1 elephant) / 50 = 48.

Step 3: The problem also states that 27 sheep cost the same as 30 goats. So, 1 sheep costs 48(costof1goat)/27=48 (cost of 1 goat) / 27 = 1.78 (rounded to the nearest cent).

Step 4: The problem also states that 6 pigs cost the same as 9 sheep. So, 1 pig costs 1.78(costof1sheep)/6=1.78 (cost of 1 sheep) / 6 = 0.30 (rounded to the nearest cent).

So, the cost of one pig is $0.30.
