4000 tonnes is 4 million kilograms of 197. This is 4 billion grams. There are 31.10347636 grams in a troy ounce. That is 128,602,988.1 troy ounces which is worth $104,978,619.20 US or $129,606,603.20

Another calculation is the metric tonne is 1.102311312 short tons, each of which contain 29,166.66666 troy ounces. Therefore, there are 4409.245248 short tons to acquire and we get 128,602,986.4 troy ounces.

Question is, how many grams in a troy ounce and how many troy ounces in a ton avoirdupois of 2000 lbs.

1 oz = 28.3595231 grams

32,000 oz = 907,184.7392 grams.

There are 7000 grains in a lb avoirdupois, and 5760 grains in a troy lb. 0.822857143 lbs avoirdupois in a troy lb. = 13.16571429 ounces avdp. = 373.2417213 grams/12 = 31.10347677 grams per troy ounce.

If you go by that there are 31.10347677 grams in a troy ounce.
