Question

A oil company has a large tank that holds the oil before it is distributed. If it costs $3.20 per cubic meter for oil, how much money would it cost to fill the entire tank?

A. $65,280
B. $68,000
C. $5,440
D. $67,200

Answer 1

Option A, $65,280

Explanation:

The volume of the tank is,

12×20×15+40×(50-15)×12

= 3600+16800

=20400 cubic meters

For each cubic meter, it costs $3.20, so for 20400 cubic meters it'll cost,

20400×$3.20

= $65,280
