3) Michael wants to cover a box with a decorative paper. The dimensions of the box are 25 inches by 15 inches by 10 inches. If decorative paper costs $0.02 per square inch, how much would it COST Michael to cover the entire box? Hint: Find the surface area first, then find the cost. * 25 in 10 in $31.00 $15.50 $75.00 15 in $64.00

A rectangular box with a volume of 320 ft³ is to be constructed with a square based and top. The cost per square foot for the bottom is 15 cents, for the top is 10 cents, and for the sides is 2.5 cents. What dimensions will be minimized the cost? (Write a function of the cost of the box based on the previous information. Draw a box and label the lengths with x and y).
