Imagine that you are the CEO of a mining company. Your employees were able to excavate 2 ores, labelled A and B, respectively, with both weighing 25 kg each. Analysis of 1.500 g of ore A yielded 0.500 g of iron metal, while the analysis of 1.200 g of ore B yielded 0.400 g of iron metal. Which between the two ores do you think should be sold at a higher price, and why?
