Answer: A company saves $134.38 by choosing to make 50 of Box 2 instead of Box 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi, to answer this question we have to calculate the surface area of both boxes.
<em>Surface area (A) = 2wl + 2lh + 2hw,
</em>
Where w is width, l is length , and h is height.
- Box 1 = A = 2(6x20) + 2( 20x4) + 2 (4 x 6) =2 (120)+ 2 (80)+ 2(24) =448 in2
- Box 2 = A = 2 (4x15)+ 2(15x8)+ 2(8x4) = 2(60)+2(120)+2(32)=424 in2
Since 1 inch = 0.0833333 foot
- Box 1 = 448 in2 x 0,0833333 =37.34 ft2
- Box 2= 424 in2 x 0,0833333 =35.19 ft2
Since the material used to make a storage box costs $1.25 per square foot.
- Box 1 =37.34 ft2 x1.25 = $ 46.675
- Box 2= 35.19 ft2 x 1.25 =$43.98
Since 50 of each are made:
- Box 1 = $ 46.675 x50 =2,333.750
- Box 2= $43.98 x50 =2,199.37
Subtracting both costs:
2,333.750(1) - 2,199.37(2) = $134.38
Well, you can cancel out the b and e, so a/c = f/d.
Then you cancel out a on the left side of the equation by multiplying both sides by 1/a which then gives you c = f/ad.
Hope this helps!
the answer is $34. 36 if I understood your question correctly.
3 yards is equivalent to 9 feet, so you do 14 - 9 = 5 feet that she has to cut off.
Hope this helps!
