<PRE><B>Question 117538</B>
A driveway 30m long and 5m wide is to be paved with blacktop 3 cm thick. how much will the blacktop cost if it is sold at the price of $175 per cubic meter?
---------------
A cubic meter is 100^3 cubic centimeters
--------------
Cost = {[30*5*3/100 cubic meters]*175
Cost = 4.5 * 175 
Cost = $787.50
