Answer:

B) $814

Explanation:

Step 1. Calculate the volume of the parts.

Start with what you know: you have an order for 300 steel parts.

The next piece of information about the parts is their volume.

900 cm³ = 1 part. Calculate the volume

V = 300 × 900/1

V = 270 000 cm³

===============

Step 2. Calculate the mass of the parts.

8.15 g = 1 cm³ Calculate the mass

m = 270 000 × 8.15/1

m = 2 200 500 g

===============

Step 3. Convert the mass to kilograms

1 kg = 1000 g Convert to kilograms

m = 2 200 500 × 1/1000

m = 2 200.5 kg

===============

Step 4. Calculate the total cost

$0.37 = 1 kg Calculate the cost

C = 2 200.5 × 0.37/1

C = $814
