Answer:
1. $14.88
2. $12.40
Explanation:
An english translation:
A company transports office cabinets to a location 425km away. Its cost is R $ 2.10 per km traveled. When the cabinets are assembled, the vehicle's capacity is 60 units. When they are disassembled the capacity increases 6 times. We ask: 1- What is the cost per assembled cabinet? 2- What is the savings per cabinet, when these are taken apart.
Solution:
425 km with 2.10 per km means:
425 * 2.10 = $892.50 total cost
Now, when assembled, there goes 60 cabinets, so cost per assembled cabinet is:
Cost per assembled cabinet = 892.5/60 = $14.875 = $14.88
The capacity of 60 after disembling, it becomes:
60 * 6 = 360
So, cost per cabinet becomes:
892.5/360 = $2.48
The savings is how much you save up if they were assembled:
14.88 - 2.48 = $12.40
Savings = $12.40
