Answer 2

Option B.
`\$1,224`

Explanation:

step 1

Find the area of the playground

The area of the playground is equal to the area of a rectangle plus the area of a triangle

`A=(10)(36)+(1)/(2)(36)(24-10)=612\ ft^(2)`

step 2

Find the number of bags of wood chips needed

by proportion

`(1)/(4)=(x)/(612) \\ \\x=612/4\\ \\ x=153\ bags`

step 3

Find the cost

`\$8.00*(153)=\$1,224`
