What is the total cost of a parcel of sapphires weighing 382.00 carats at a per-carat price of $80.00?

To determine the total cost of a parcel of sapphires weighing 382.00 carats at a per-carat price of $80.00, you need to multiply the weight in carats by the price per carat.

The calculation would be as follows:

Total Cost = Weight (in carats) × Price per Carat

Total Cost = 382.00 carats × $80.00 per carat

Performing the multiplication:

Total Cost = 30,560.00

When rounding to the nearest whole number, this would be approximately $30,500.00.

The correct answer accurately reflects the result of this multiplication, indicating an understanding of how to calculate the total price based on weight and price per unit.
