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
