Answer:
$1170
Explanation:
1. We know that each steel part has a volume of 1015 cubic centimeters, and the machinist wants to make 500 of these. Then the total volume of the steel part the machinist will make will be 1015 x 500.
--> 1015 x 500
--> 507500 cubic centimeters.
2. The density of the steel part is 7.95 grams per one cubic centimeter. Then the total density of the 500 steel parts will be 507500 x 7.95.
--> 507500 x 7.95
--> 4,034,625 grams.
3. For every kilo of steel part, the cost is $0.29. We should first change the 4,034,625 gram to kilo. Since 1000 grams is a kilo, we divide 4,034,625 by 1000.
--> 4,034,625 grams / 1000 = 4034.625 kilograms.
Now we multiply 4034.625 by 0.29 to find the total cost.
--> 4034.625 x 0.29
--> 1170.04125.
Since the question specifically asked to round it to the nearest dollar, our final answer becomes $1170.
