Problema Solution
Your parents are having custom cabinets built for their new kitchen. The company building the cabinets charges the same amount (x) for each of the cabinet pieces and charges a flat fee of $150 for installation. The project planner has determined that your parents will need to purchase 8 upper cabinets, 6 lower cabinets, 2 corner cabinets and 4 cabinets with finished ends. If the total cost of the custom cabinets comes to $6650, what is the cost of each cabinet?
Answer provided by our tutors
The cost is $182.5 for each cabinet
Solution: the total cabinets are 8+6+2+4=20
The flat fee is 150x20=3000
The total cabinets charge is 6650-3000=3650
The cost for each cabinet is 3650/20=182.5
