Concrete can be purchased by the cubic yard. how much will it cost to pour a slab that is 17 ft by 17 ft by 2 ft if the concrete costs $40.00 per cubic yard?

To solve for how much it would cost, we have to solve for the volume of the slab first, then multiply it by the given price of concrete.

Solving for the volume of the slab:

Since the given price is in cubic yard, it is easier to convert the given measurements from feet to yards first. Using the relation: 1 ft = 0.333 yd:

17 ft = 5.67 yards
2 ft = 0.67 yards

17ft x 17ft x 2ft = 5.67 yd x 5.67 yd x 0.67 yd = 21.54 yd^3

Multiplying this by $40.00 / yd^3:

21.54 x 40 = 861.59

Therefore, it will cost $861.59 to pour the slab.

$856.30 is the answer that guys other answer down there his answer is wrong but it was close I guess.

$X = $12y

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are asked to give an expression to represent the amount of money charged to a man who stayed in a motel for a particular number of days.

Firstly, we need to know the amount of money charged per day. This is visible from

the question and it is equal to $y.

Secondly, the number of days/night stayed is 12 days. This means that the amount of money he was charged is 12 * y = $12y

Since the amount of money charged is equal to $x, the amount to pay can be expressed in terms of y and x to be

$X = $12y
