what is the size of a box containing $8.6 million in one hundred's?

Question

one box what is the size -deep-wide- and high how many square feet? $8.6 million in one hundred denonations ?

Answer 1

The box is half the size of the box containing $17,200,000.00 in $100 dollar bills!

Answer 2

Given the vagueness of this question, we have to make quite a few assumptions.

First, an American bill is cut roughly to the dimensions of 2.61" wide X 6.14" Long X 0.0043" Thick. 

Because the bills are $100 denominations, first divide the total amount of money by the denomination to get the total number of bills in the box:

8,600,000 

    100       = 86,000 bills

 

Now, assuming the bills are stacked one on top of the other, we will need to find how tall our stack is:

86,000 * 0.0043" = 369.8"

 

Now you have the size of the box (assuming all bills are stacked):

 

In inches: Width = 2.61", Length = 6.14", Height = 369.8"

 

In feet: Width = 0.2175', Length = 0.511667', Height = 30.81667'

 

I am going to assume that the question is wanting to know the cubic feet of the box, not the square feet because we have a 3 dimensional object, therefore:

(1'/12")*2.61" * (1'/12")*6.14" * (1'/12")*369.8" = 3.4295ft^3
