Answer 1

Answer:

The manual cost that will take to recreate by the firm is $ 90.51

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of words the manual contains= 16000

Number of words typed by a clerk in one hour and 20 minutes = 4160

To Find:

The total cost for recreating the manual = ?

Solution:

Step 1:  Finding the Number of hours is need to type 4160 words :

= $1\frac{20}{60}$ hours

$\\\\=1\frac{1}{3}$ hours

$\\\\=\frac{4}{3}$ hours

So it takes  $\frac{4}{3}$ hours to type 4160 word

Step 2 :  Finding the Number of hours is needed to type 1 word  

= $\frac{4160}{\frac{4}{3}}$

=$4160 \times \frac{3}{4}$

= 3120 words per hour

Step 3 :  Finding the Number of hours is needed to type 16000 words

=$\frac{\text{ total number of words}} {\text{ number of words written per hour}}$

Substituting the values

= $\frac{16000}{3120}$

=  5.1282 hours

Step 4 :  Finding the cost for recreating the manual.

= number of hours  x cost per hour

=   5.1282 x $17.65

=  90.51
