Quinton delivered 8 pallets of grass to a construction site for a new home and gave the contractor a bill.
• Each pallet of grass cost $137.59.
• The delivery charge was $102.
What is the total amount charged to the contractor?
The total cost for all the pallets of grass is 8 pallets * $137.59/pallet = $<<8*137.59=1100.72>>1100.72.
Therefore, the total amount charged to the contractor is $1100.72 + $102 = $<<1100.72+102=1202.72>>1202.72. Answer: \boxed{1202.72}.
To determine the total amount charged to the contractor, we need to calculate the cost of the grass and add the delivery charge.
The cost of each pallet of grass is $137.59, and Quinton delivered 8 pallets. So, to find the cost of the grass, we multiply the cost per pallet by the number of pallets:
Cost of grass = $137.59 x 8 = $1,100.72
Next, we add the $102 delivery charge to the cost of the grass:
Total amount charged = Cost of grass + Delivery charge = $1,100.72 + $102 = $1,202.72
Therefore, the total amount charged to the contractor is $1,202.72.
To calculate the total amount charged to the contractor, you will need to multiply the cost of each pallet of grass by the number of pallets and add the delivery charge.
Step 1: Calculate the cost of the grass pallets:
Each pallet of grass cost $137.59.
Multiply $137.59 by 8 (number of pallets) to get: $1100.72.
Step 2: Add the delivery charge:
The delivery charge was $102.
Step 3: Calculate the total amount charged:
Add the cost of the grass pallets ($1100.72) and the delivery charge ($102):
$1100.72 + $102 = $1202.72.
Therefore, the total amount charged to the contractor is $1202.72.
