Question 920013
How do I find out how much money I have in a small cut piece of metal plate, if I know the total cost of a 1/4" x 48" x 120" sheet of plate is $165.24?
----
I assume (1/4)" is the depth and 48" and 120" are the width and length.
I have to assume you are paying by the cubic inch.
---
(1/4)(48)(120) = 12*120 = 1440 cu inches
Price per cubic inch = 165.24/1440 = 11.475 cents per cubic inch

Also how do I find out my cost of a small triangle piece as well? Please help me figure this out. Thanks
I did't try to answer this as you did not say if you were paying by the
area or by the cubic measure.
