Question

Alice purchased paint in a bucket with a radius of 3.5 inches and a height of 8 inches The paint cost $0.05 per cubic inch. What was the total cost of the paint? Use 3.14 for pi. Round only your final answer to the nearest penny. Enter your answer in the box. $

Answer 1

Volume of bucket (cylindrical) = πr²h

= 3.14×3.5×3.5×8

=307.72 cubic inch

Total cost of paint = Volume of paint bucket/cost of per cubic inch of paint

= 307.72/0.05

= $6,154.40

Answer 2

Answer:

Total cost of the paint bucket is $15.39 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula

$Volume\ of\ a\ cylinder = \pi r^{2} h$

Where r is the radius and h is the height .

As given

Alice purchased paint in a bucket with a radius of 3.5 inches and a height of 8 inches .

$\pi = 3.14$

Putting all the values in the formula

$Volume\ of\ a\ bucket =3.14\times 3.5\times 3.5\times 8$

                                             = 307.72 in³

As given

The paint cost $0.05 per cubic inch.

Total cost of the paint bucket = Volume of bucket × Cost per cubic inch

                                                = 307.72 × 0.05

                                                = $ 15.39 (Approx)

Therefore the total cost of the paint bucket is $15.39 .
