Question

If concrete was selling for $55.5 per cubic yard, how much did you spend to pave the sidewalk? (See 162 cubic feet.)

Answer 1

Given:

The volume of the sidewalk is 162 cubic feet.

In yards,

`(162)/(3*3*3)=6\text{ cubic yards}`

The selling price of concrete is $55.5 per cubic yard.

To find the amount that I spend to pave the sidewalk:

So,

`6*55.5=\text{ \$}333`

Hence, the amount that I spend to pave the sidewalk is $333.
