Answer:

A. $513

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the area of the boxes by multiplying the sides.

The first box is 54 ft sq.

The second box is 121.5 ft sq.

So

\\\frac{54}{121.5} =\frac{228}{x}

cross mult.

27702 = 54x

513 = x

Answer:  The correct option is (C) $342.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Mr. Williams is building a sand box for his children and is costs $228 for the sand if he builds a rectangular-sand box with dimensions 9 ft by 6 ft.

We are to find the cost of the sand if he decides to increase the size to 13\frac{1}{2}~\textup{ft by }9~\textup{ft}.

Since the box is empty from inside, so we will be considering the perimeter of the box, not area.

The perimeter of the rectangular-sand box with dimensions 9 ft by 6 ft is

P_1=2(9+6)=30~\textup{ft},

and the perimeter of the rectangular-sand box with dimensions 13\frac{1}{2}~\textup{ft by }9~\textup{ft}. is

P_2=2\left(13\dfrac{1}{2}\times9\right)=2(13.5\times9)=45~\textup{ft}.

Now, we will be using the UNITARY method.

Cost of sand for building rectangular-sand box with perimeter 30ft = $228.

So, cost of  sand for building rectangular-sand box with perimeter 1 ft will be

\$\dfrac{228}{30}.

Therefore, the cost of sand for building rectangular-sand box with perimeter 45 ft is given by

\$\dfrac{228}{30}\times45=\$342.

Thus, the required cost of the sand is $342.

Option (C) is CORRECT.
