Question

A storage locker measures 8 feet wide,

12 feet deep, and 9 feet high. The
monthly rental price for the locker
is $3.60 per cubic yard. How much
does it cost to rent the locker each
month? Explain.

Answer 1

In yards, the dimensions are (8/3), (12/3)=4, and (9/3)=3. The volume of the locker is the product of these dimensions.

Then the rent is
($3.60/yd³) × (8/3 yd) × (4 yd) × (3 yd) = $115.20

The rental cost each month is $115.20.
