Question

Tyler is self-employed sheet metal worker. He purchased 25 sheets of aluminum that measures 4 feet by 8 feet. The cost is $4000.00 before tax and shipping.

1: How much does 1 sheet cost?
2: What is the price per square foot?

Answer 1

25 sheets at 4000 per sheet.......4000/25 = $ 160 per sheet <==

A = L * W
A = 4 * 8
A = 32 sq ft....multiply by 25 because he bought 25 of them
25 * 32 = 800 sq ft

4000/800 = $ 5 per sq ft <==
