He needs a volume of
V=5.5%2A6%2A%2810%2F100%29=3.33m%5E3
So he needs,
300%2A3.3=1000kg cement
600%2A3.3=2000kg sand
1200%2A3.3=4000kg gravel
So the cost is,
%281000%2F25%294.99=199.60 for cement.
He's already over budget.
%282000%2F950%293.99=8.40 for sand.
%284000%2F850%2939.99=188.19 for gravel.
Totaled,
T=199.60%2B8.40%2B188.19
T=396.19
