Answer: D $10.84
Step-by-step explanation:
If the box is a cube and paper is needed to wrap it, then we need to find the surface area of the box then multiply it buy the cost of the wrapping paper.
The surface area of a cube uses the formula 6a^2 where a is any side length.
We know that the box has a side length of 8.5 inches.
SA = 6*8.5^2
SA= 433.5
Now multiply the surface area by the money.
433.5 * 0.025 = 10.8375
Round 10.8375 to dollars and cents as it is required.
10.8375 = 10.84
Which means it will cost $10.84 to wrap the box.
I answered on the other one where you asked this question
Total cost = 0.95 x $150 + $5.50 = $142.50 + $5.50 = $148
