A safe for storing valuables sells for $450. The space inside the safe is 1.5 ft long, 1.2 ft wide, and 2.0 ft high.
a. What is the inside volume of the safe?
b. What is the cost per cubic foot of the space inside the safe?
a. The inside volume of the safe can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height together: 1.5 ft x 1.2 ft x 2.0 ft = 3.6 cubic feet.
b. To find the cost per cubic foot of the space inside the safe, divide the total cost of the safe by the inside volume: $450 / 3.6 cubic feet = $125 per cubic foot.
