Answer

2 cents per acre.

Work Step by Step

Represent the money paid to Russia in scientific form. $7.2 million=7.2\times10^{6}$ Then divide sum that was paid with area to obtain price per acre. $\frac{7.2\times10^{6}}{3.66\times10^{8}}=1.97\times10^{-2}=0.0197$ We can round that to $0.02 dollars per acre which is equal to 2 cents per acre.
