Answer:
$1111.11
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a building contractor is to dig a foundation 50 feet long, 20 feet wide and 10 feet deep.
Let us find the volume of the dirt dig from the foundation.
[tex]\text{Volume of dirt dig from foundation}=50\text{ feet}*20\text{ feet}*10\text{ feet}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Volume of dirt dig from foundation}=10000\text{ feet}^{3} [/tex]
Since, 1 cubic feet= 0.037037 cubic yards. Let us convert volume of dirt dig into cubic yards by multiplying 10,000 by 0.037037.
[tex]\text{Volume of dirt dig from foundation}=10000*0.037037=370.3704[/tex]
Now let us find how many truckload will hold 370.3704 cubic yards of dirt by dividing 370.3704 by 5.
[tex]\text{Number of truckloads needed}=\frac{370.3704 }{5}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Number of truckloads needed}=74.07408[/tex]
Now let us multiply number of truckloads by 15 to find the total cost to haul away all the dirt.
[tex]\text{Total cost}=74.07408*15[/tex]
[tex]\text{Total cost}=1111.1112[/tex]
Therefore, the cost to have all the dirt hauled away is $1111.11.
