A retailer needs to purchase cuboidal boxes of two different sizes. The boxes are both 6 inches long and 9 inches high but differ in width. The boxes are priced by volume at $2 per cubic inch. The volume of a cuboid is length x width x height.
The base area of a cuboid is length x width. In the table below, select the value that is closest to the cost of one box of base area 24.5 square inches as well as the cost of one box of base area 32.75 square inches. Make only one selection in each column.

Experts' Global Explanation:
Length = 6 inches
Breadth is unknown
Height = 9 inches
I.
Base area = 24.5 square inches
Length x Breadth = 24.5 square inches
Volume = Length x Breadth x Height = 24.5 x 9 ≈ 220 cubic inches
Cost = 2 x Volume = 2 x 220 = $440
II.
Base area = 32.75 square inches
Volume = Length x Breadth x Height = 32.75 x 9 ≈ 300 cubic inches
Cost = 2 x Volume = 2 x 300 = $600
Hence, for “Base area 24.5 square inches” column, “440”, and for “Base area 32.75 square inches” column, “590” is the correct combination of the answer choices.

V= l*b*h
cost= 2*(lbh)
one box1- L*b =24.5 and h=9
CP of box1= 2*24.5*9=440(approx)
same for box2= 2* 32.75*9 = 590 (approx)
cost= 2*(lbh)
one box1- L*b =24.5 and h=9
CP of box1= 2*24.5*9=440(approx)
same for box2= 2* 32.75*9 = 590 (approx)
