My problem is: A closed box with a square base is to have a volume of 24 cubic feet. The material for the sides, top, and base costs $0.25, $0.50, and $1.00 per square foot, respectively.
Write an equation that gives the cost, C, of the box if the length of one side of the base of the box is x feet
I have C = x(24 - 3x)^3, I dont think I understand the question very well.
