Luke finds a great deal for putting cups on Amazon. He can get a 36 pack for $9.74. What a deal! Each cup holds 3.25 ounce of yummy putting, BTW. Luke also knows that the hot tub is about 5 feet with, 5 feet long, and 2.5 feet deep. How many packs will Luke need to buy in order to fill the hot tub? How much will this prank cost him

Answer 1

Answer:

$4,986.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the dimensions of the hot tub (5ft x 5ft x 2.5ft), you first need to find the volume of the object to figure out how many ounces of pudding it will hold.  

V = l x w x h = 5 x 5 x 2.5 = 62.5 ft³

1 ft³ = 957.06 ounces

$\frac{1}{957.06}=\frac{62.5}{x}$ or x = 59,844.125 ounces

Each cup of pudding holds 3.25 ounces of pudding and there are 36 cups in the pack, so the total amount of ounces Luke can get for $9.74 is:

3.25 x 36 = 117 ounces

$\frac{59,844.125}{117}$≈$512packs$

Each 36 pack costs $9.74 and Luke will need 512 of them:

9.74 x 512 = $4,986.88
