Slide 34 of 61
Notes:
The reference to Dragon liver is taken from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Before solving this problem students should try to guess, or simply assign a price in Muggle money.
While in Diagon Alley, Hagrid and Harry pass a woman who has just noticed a sign in a window advertising Dragon liver at 17 sickles and ounce. She is shaking her head and mumbling to herself over the expense. From this students could infer that Dragon liver is expensive.
Alternate problems could also be posed:
What is the cost of a 3lb 4 oz piece of Dragon liver?
How many ounces of Dragon liver could be purchased for 5 galleons?
