Question

It takes 830 bricks to construct a wall that measures 14 feet 9 inches long and 6 feet high. The crew you hire can lay 300 bricks/hour. The cost of the labor is $4,000 per eight-hour workday and you can pay for a partial day. You need to build a wall 36' 6" long and 6' high. How much will the new wall cost?

Answer 1

$1,383.53

Explanation:

Given: The total number bricks required to make the wall= 830

The speed of crew= 300 bricks/hour

Total hours they take to make the wall= 830/300 Hour

The cost of labour =$4,000 per eight-hour

⇒The cost of labour for 1 hour = $4000/8 = $500

Now, the cost of wall= 830/300 x 500 = 1383.53

Hence, $1383.53 is the right answer, the cost of the new wall= $1383.53
