Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Convert grams to ounces

We know that 1 oz = 28 g. So, the number of ounces in 42 g is $\frac{42}{28}$.

Step2: Calculate the money

The local jewelry - exchange buys gold for $1286 per ounce. So the money Kira can get is $\frac{42}{28}\times1286$. $\frac{42}{28}\times1286=\frac{3}{2}\times1286 = 3\times643=1929$

Answer:

$1929$
