A chocolatier makes chocolate bon-bons in the shape of a sphere with a radius of 2cm. The chocolate used in the bon-bons has a density of 1.31 g/cm^3. If the chocolate
used costs $0.06 per gram, how much would the chocolate for 140 bon-bons cost, to
the nearest cent?

Respuesta :

We will get the mass of each chocolate sphere, and the cost of 140 of these is $368.56

How much would it cost?

A sphere of radius R has a volume:

V = (4/3)*3.14*R^3

The mass of a sphere of chocolate will be given by the volume times the density, then one ball of chocolate has a mass:

M = (4/3)*3.14*(2cm)^3*(1.31 g/cm^3) = 43.88 g

And we know that the cost is of $0.06 per gram, the cost for 140 of these spheres is:

cost = 140*(44.88 g)*$0.06 = $368.56
