To calculate the cost of manufacturing the cereal box, you need to calculate the total surface area of the box in square inches and then multiply it by the cost of cardboard per square inch.
Assuming the cereal box is a rectangular prism with the dimensions of 8 inches length, 6 inches width, and 2 inches height:
Surface Area = 2(8x6 + 8x2 + 6x2)
Surface Area = 2(48 + 16 + 12)
Surface Area = 2(76)
Surface Area = 152 square inches
Cost of manufacturing = Surface Area x Cost of cardboard per square inch
Cost = 152 x $0.01
Cost = $1.44
Therefore, the cost of manufacturing this cereal box is $1.44.
