Question: Hello: )✨A masonry contractor is preparing an estimate for building a stone wall and gate. He estimates that the job will take a
40-hour work week. He plans to have three laborers at $15 per hour and four masons at $25 per hour. He'll need $3268
worth of materials and wishes to make a profit of $700. Write a mathematical statement that will give the estimated cost of
the job. Then calculate this total.
Select the correct choice below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
Answer: Checked to see if this was right* Based on the number of hours in the work week, the cost of the laborers and masons, worth of the materials and the profit, the estimated cost of the job can be written as a mathematical statement of A. 3 x $15 x 40 + 4 x $25 x 40 + $3,268 + $700 = $
The total estimated cost is $9,768
What is the total estimated cost?
The total estimated cost of the job can be found by the formula:
= (Number of laborers needed x Cost of laborers x Number of hours in work week) + (Number of masons x cost of masons x number of hours in work week) + materials worth + Required profit
The total estimated cost is therefore:
= (3 x $15 x 40) + (4 x $25 x 40) + $3,268 + $700
= 1,800 + 4,000 + 3,268 + 700
= $9,768
