­For box with base area = 24.5
Volume price * volume = 6 * 9 * (24.5/6) * 2 = 440

Volume prive * volume of the box = 6 * 9 * (32.75/6) * 2 = 590

Base area of a cuboid is length x width.
Volume of a cuboid is length x width x height.

Volume of 24.5 square inches: 24,5 x 9 = 220,5
Volume of 32.75 square inches: 32,75 x 9 = 294,75

The boxes are priced by volume at $2 per cubic inch:

Base area 24.5 square inches => 220,5 x 2 = around $440
Base area 32.75 square inches => 294,75 x 2 = around $590­

The price for each box is :
Area * height *cost of cubic inch = area * 9 *2

the cost of one box of base area 24.5
24.5 * 9*2 is almost 440$

the cost of one box of base area 32.75
Is almost 33*9*2 =590$
