Question

The company charges $5 per sq ft, AND has a minimum charge of 3 sq ft per order (meaning if a customer orders something SMALLER than 3 sq ft they still are charged as if they ordered 3 sq ft, never less - but if they order something larger than 3 sq ft they just pay regularly by the sq ft). What would you charge someone who orders a piece of glass 12in X 12in

Answer 1

15 dollars

Explanation:

12 inches = 1 ft

so 12 inch by 12 inches is 1 ft * 1 ft

1 ft* 1 ft

1 ft^2

This is smaller than 3 ft^2 so they will get charged for 3 ft^2

3 ft^2 = 3 ft^2 * $5 / ft^2 = 15 dollars
