Answer 1

$840

Explanation:

Given data

The cost of material is $315

The ratio is

3:4:1

The total number of part is

3+4+1= 8

Let us apply the part to all method

let the total cost be x

hence

3/8=315/x

cross multiply

3x= 8*315

3x= 2520

divide both sides by 3

x= 2520/3

x= $840

Hence the total money is $840
