Answer:

The daily cost of cooling the large warehouse with the same model of air conditioner is [tex]\$1,953[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its volumes is equal to the scale factor elevated to the cube

In this problem

The scale factor is equal to 2.5

so

The scale factor elevated to the cube is [tex]2.5^{3} =15.625[/tex]

To estimate the daily cost of cooling the large warehouse with the same model of air conditioner, multiply $125.00 by the scale factor elevated to the cube

so

[tex]\$125(15.625)=\$1,953[/tex]
