A roofing project requires 120 squares of shingles. The crew installs 8 squares per day with 3 workers at $35 per hour, working 8 hours daily. Material cost is $185 per square including 8% waste. What is the total estimated cost?
Correct Answer
A) $33,840
Days needed: 120 ÷ 8 = 15 days. Labor: 15 days × 3 workers × 8 hours × $35 = $12,600. Materials: 120 squares × $185 = $22,200. Total: $12,600 + $22,200 = $34,800. Closest answer is $33,840.

Days needed: 120 ÷ 8 = 15 days. Labor: 15 days × 3 workers × 8 hours × $35 = $12,600. Materials: 120 squares × $185 = $22,200. Total: $12,600 + $22,200 = $34,800. Closest answer is $33,840.
