Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Solution: Use the ratio to find the value of one part and then the total cost.
Let material, labour and maintenance costs be 4x, 6x and 7x respectively.
Given material cost 4x = 100, so one part x = 100 ÷ 4 = 25.
Total parts = 4 + 6 + 7 = 17, so total cost = 17 × x = 17 × 25 = 425.
Answer: 425
