The Gadsden Purchase price was $10,000,000. After the Mexican-American war, the United States purchased land from Mexico that would become part of Arizona and New Mexico. Almost 30,000 square miles of land was bought.

The Gadsden Purchase was from Mexico. (Gadsden Purchase was buying a strip of land along the southern parts of Arizona and New Mexico) the US paid Mexico 10 million for this. With this, the US got to be its present size. Hope this helps you!
