Question

A company has designed a new cereal box. This new box has a height of 25 cm, a width

of 2.5 cm, and a length of 12.5 cm. Cardboard used to create these boxes is purchased
from a wholesale supplier at a rate of 0.00016 cents per square centimeter. What is the
cost to produce each box?

Answer 1

$0.13 to produce each box.

Explanation:

S= ph+2b

p= 12.5+2.5+12.5+2.5=30

h=25

b= 12.5x2.5=31.25

S= (30)(25) +2 (31.25)

S=
`812.5cm^(2)`

812.5 x 0.00016= 0.13
