If cardboard costs $0.05 per square inch, calculate the cost of manufacturing.

My measurements for the box are: length 8 inches, width 1.75 and height 12.125 inches
I've already got the volume and surface area which are 169.75in for the volume and 264.4375in for the surface area
Can someone pls help me out with this?

you have a surface area of 264.4375 in^2
so the cost is just that times the price per in^2
$0.05 * 264.4375 = $13.22

that is, working with just the units, in^2 * $/in^2 = $
