Plz help me!

Answer 3

Find the volume for each container. Then divide the price by the volume. (Price/Volume)

Answer 4

i dont get it

Answer 5

Okay, so the volume of the first container is (7x7x8) = 392
Now, just divide 99 by 392. This will give you the price per cubic foot

Answer 6

oh ok thx

Answer 7

when i divide those two numbers what do i get

Answer 8

Answer 9

@Utterly_Confuzzled

Answer 10

99/392 = .25 cents per square in

Answer 11

ok so its 25

Answer 12

or 0.25?

Answer 13

25 cents so $0.25

Answer 14

That's for the 7 foot container. Now you have to figure out the 12 foot container as well

Answer 15

what is the one for the 12 foot containers?

Answer 16

So, once again, you have to solve for the volume which is 12x8x8=768

Next, divide the price (199) by the volume 768

199/768 gives you .26 so $0.26 would be your answer

Answer 17

oh ok thx

Answer 18

then it says to round the prices to the nearest cent
