Respuesta :

The total cost of the brackets before tax = $89.70

Height = 9 feet

length = 10 feet

Wall brackets come in 48-in cost $12.95 and 60-in costing $16.95

Distance of brackets from ends = 1 foot

Maximum distance between brackets = 24 inches

The brackets are:

  48/12= 4feet, and 60/12 = 5feet

One of each must be used to cover the height of the shelf.

The length of the shelf is 60 inches

On subtracting 1 foot from each side of the allowance we get, 60-2 = 58-in

Then dividing by 24 we get

58/24 ≈3

The Total cost = (12.95 + 16.95)×3

                        = $89.70
