Math
Must be done today or it's homework.

Wilbur needs to expand his farm. He needs more storage for his grain. He needs to build more silos. This is what his silos will look like (Notice the flat top):



There are three kinds of silos he can buy:
- Small
- Medium
- Large

The roof of the small silo has an area of 10 square meters.
The roof of the medium silo has an area of 13 square meters.
The roof of the large silo has an area of 15 square meters.


The small silo is 8 meters tall.
The medium silo is 9.5 meters tall.
The large silo is 11 meters tall.

One small silo costs $6500.00 to buy and install.
One medium silo costs $9000.00 to buy and install.
One large silo cost $10500.00 to buy and install.

Wilbur can install as many silos as he needs to.
He really doesn't want to spend any more money than he has to.

He needs  at least 600 cubic meters of storage space. 

Run some numbers, and find an option that works for him.

There's a lot of possibilities. Can you find a cheaper option.
