A storage cube that has an edge length of 16 centimeters is being packed in a cardboard box with a length of 28 centimeters, a width of 18 centimeters, and a height of 22 centimeters. The extra space is filled with packing peanuts. The packing peanuts cost $0.002 per cubic centimeter. How much will it cost to fill the extra space with packing peanuts?

Answer :

Volume of cardboard box = L x B x H = 28x18x22 =11,088 cubic centimeters

Volume of storage cube = LxLxL= 16x16x16 = 4,096 cubic centimeters

The extra space = 11,088 - 4,096 = 6,992 cubic centimeters

The cost to fill the extra space = 6992 x 0.002 = $13.984 approximately $13.98
