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

Using the same sq ft charge ($5 per sq ft) and remembering the rule about when to use the minimum charge, what would you charge someone ordering a piece of glass 48in X 48in? *

Answer:

12 inches by 12 inches = 15 dollars

48 inches by 48 inches = 80 dollars

Step-by-step 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

48 inches = 48/12 = 4 ft

4ft * 4 ft = 16 ft^2

16 ft^2 = 16 ft^2 * $5 / ft^2 = 80 dollars
