Answer:
$5.76
Explanation:
We solve using the formula of the area of a rectangular prism
A = 2(LW + LH + WH)
The dimensions of the package are given as: 10 inches horizontally, 4 inches vertically, and 4 inches on the side
=2 × (4 × 10 + 4 × 10 + 4 ×4)
=192 square inches
If the cost of packaging is $0.03 per square inch, the total cost of the package is calculated as:
1 square inch = $0.03
192 square inches = x
Cross Multiply
= 192 × $0.03
= $5.76
