Each of four shelves in a bookcase measures 275 cm. Find the cost of the shelves when the price of lumber is $13.50 per meter.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Cost of shelves = $148.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Measure of each shelf= [tex]275\ cm\ = \frac{275}{100} \ m\ =2.75 \ m[/tex]

Measure of 4 shelves together= [tex]4\times2.75\ m\ = 11 m[/tex]

Cost of lumber  = $[tex]13.50[/tex] per meter

∴ Cost of the shelves = Measure in meters x Cost of lumber per meter

[tex]\\=11\times13.50[/tex]=$148.50
