QuestionTo complete bookshelves, a customer at your store needs to purchase vertical brackets to attach to the wall. The customer wants the shelving to be 9 feet high and 10 feet long. The wall brackets come in 48 -inch and 60 -inch sections. The 48 -inch sections cost $12.95\$ 12.95; the 60 -inch sections cost $16.95\$ 16.95. The brackets should be 1 foot from each end and no more than 24 inches apart. What will be the total cost of the brackets, before tax? A $89.70\$ 89.70 B $119.60\$ 119.60 C $129.50\$ 129.50 D $149.50\$ 149.50 E $179.40\$ 179.40

Studdy Solution
Calculate the total cost of the brackets.
- Choose bracket sections: Since each bracket is vertical and 108 inches high, use two 60-inch sections per bracket.
Cost calculation: - Each bracket requires 2 sections of 60 inches. - Total sections needed = 5×2=10 5 \times 2 = 10 sections. - Cost per 60-inch section = $16.95.
Total cost: Total cost=10×16.95=169.50 \text{Total cost} = 10 \times 16.95 = 169.50
The total cost of the brackets, before tax, is:
169.50 \boxed{169.50}
