Answer:

$48

Explanation:

You are being asked to find the total surface area of the rectangular prism that is 14 in by 8 in by 4 in. Then you are to multiply that value by 3 (to make it be the area of 3 boxes). After that, you need to multiply by the cost per square inch to find the cost of the wrapping paper for three boxes.

__

The area formula is ...

A = 2(LW +H(L+W))

Filling in the given dimensions, we have ...

A = 2(14×8 +4(14 +8)) = 2(112 +4(22)) = 2(200) = 800 . . . square inches

The area of the box for 1 pair of shoes is 800 square inches, so the area of the boxes for 3 pairs of shoes is ...

3 × 800 in² = 2400 in²

And the cost is ...

(2400 in²)($0.02/in²) = $48

The cost to cover three shoe boxes is $48.
