If the concrete costs $90 per cubic yard, how much would you pay for 2 ½ cubic yards of
concrete with a 8.75% CA sales tax? - answer $244.69

How many cubic yards of backfill are required for a 3' x 5' trench, 1500 ft long, with a 1 foot
diameter pipe? - answer 789.72
Explanation:
Step 1. Find the net face area of the trench deducting for pipe.Face area including pipe: 3 x 5 =
15 square feetArea of the pipe: 𝐴=𝜋𝑟2A = 3.14 x .5 x .5A = 0.785Find the face area of the trench
minus area of the pipe, which will give you the net area for the backfill.15 - 0.785 = 14.215Step 2.
Find the total volume of the backfill.14.215 x 1500 = 21322.5 cubic feetConvert the volume into
cubic yards.21322.5 ÷ 27 = 789.72 cubic yards

Refer to the house plan. What is the total cost for the foundation slab if the contractor charges
$3.54 per square foot? - answer $6524.90
Explanation:
The easiest way to solve for the area of the slab is to image a full rectangle of the slab and
subtract void areas from the area of the slab.
Rectangle area: 28.167' x 71.5'= 2013.94 sq ftLeft void area: 6.667' x 1.83' = 12.2 sq ftCenter
void area: 11.5' x 1.83' = 21.045 sq ftRight void area: 9.167' x 15' = 137.505Net area of the
foundation slab: 2013.94 - 12.2 - 21.045 - 137.505 = 1843.19 sq ft.Calculate the price of the
slab.1843.19 sq ft x $3.54 = $6524.90
