Answer: Eric spends $41.44 on the contact paper.


Step-by-step explanation:

The dimensions of the box are 9 inches, 11 inches, 8 inches.

The surface area of the box will be given by:

[tex]S.A.=2(lb+bh+hl)\\\Rightarrow\ S.A.=2(9(11)+11(8)+8(9))\\=2(99+88+72)\\=2\times259\\=518\ inch^2[/tex]

Since, the contact paper costs 8 cents per square inch.

The cost of covering the box=[tex]8\times518=\4144\ cents[/tex]

Since, 1 $ = 100 cents or 1 cent =0.01 dollar.

Therefore, The cost of covering the box= [tex]=4144\times0.01=\$41.44[/tex]
