Candle Box Probem

Dear Blace,
          In order to figure out the total cost of your candle ready to ship you must first find the surface area of the hexagonal prism or wrapping. To do so you must first find the area of the two bases using the formula A= 1/2ap. Once you find the area of one base you have to multiply it by 2 since there are two bases. After you do this you have to find the area of the the walls or rectangles around the outside using the formula A=bh. Once you have the area of the bases and the rectangles, add them together to find the area of the entire prism. You then have to multiply this equation by $0.01 to find out how much the wrapping costs.
          Next you have to find the area of the cylindrical box the candle and wrapping are placed inside of. To do so you have to find the area of the bases using the formula for the area of a circle. Don't forget to multiply by two. You then have to find the area of the outer wall using A=bh. the base length for this rectangle is the same as the circumference of the base circle. Add these two together to get the area of the entire cylinder. Considering that the inside of the cylinder is hollow, you must subtract the areas of the hexagons from the previous problem from the cylinder and add the areas of the 6 rectangles on the prism. After you do so, multiply that equation by $0.02 to find the cost of the box itself.
          To find the price of your candles ready to ship, you have to add the two previous equations and $15 (the price of just the candle) together. This will give you the price of your entire candle right before it heads out the door. In order to up your profit by 20%, you are going to have to take the total and multiply it by 1.2. Doing this will find 20% of your candle and add it back to the original price.

Glad I could help, happy candle sales.

P.s. My laptop crashed while I was trying to do this last night and all day today, that's why it's late.
