Computer Shipments
 

 

Nell Computers wants to hire Overnite Delivery Service to truck computers from the warehouse to stores. Overnite has 2 trucks — 1 large and 1 small. The large truck is twice as high, twice as wide, and twice as long as the small one. Overnite has decided to charge $500 per shipment for each delivery made with a fully loaded small truck.

Assuming that charges are based on each truck’s volume, what should Overnite charge for each delivery made with a fully loaded large truck?
