Two types of barrel units were in use in the 1920s in the United States. The apple barrel had a legally set volume of 7056 cubic inches; the cranberry barrel, 5826 cubic inches. If a merchant sells 77 cranberry barrels of goods to a customer who thinks he is receiving apple barrels, what is the discrepancy in the shipment volume in liters (L)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The discrepancy = 1894.20litres

Step-by-step explanation:

A barrel of apple = 7056 cubic inch

A barrel of cranberry= 5826 cubic inch

Converting cubic inch to litres

1 inch = 0.02 litres

Apple barrel in litres= 7056 × 0.02= 141.12Litres

Cranberry barrel in litres= 5826 ×0.02 = 116.52 Litres

Apple barrel= 141.12 ×77 =10866.24 Litres

Cranberry barrel = 116.52 ×77 =

8972.04Litres

Discrepancy =10866.24 -8972.04) Litres = 1894.2 Litres
