Your goal is to design a new shape for a cereal container that will hold the same volume of cereal as a standard cereal box and costs as little as possible to make. How cheaply can you package cereal?
Length= 8 inches
Width= 3 inches
Height= 12 inches
Surface Area= 2(3*8+3*12+8*12
SA= 2(24+36+96)
SA= 2(156)= 312 sq. in
SA= 312 sq. in
V= bh
V= l*w*h
V= 8*3*12
V=288 in^3
Calculate the cost of manufacturing a standard cereal box if cardboard costs $0.05 per square inch.
