Question

A pest control company sprays insecticide around the perimeter of a 460 ft by 320 ft building. If the spray costs $0.12 per foot, how much did the job cost to the nearest

dollar?
OA. 5187
OB. 51.766
OC. $147
OD. 594

Answer 1

$187.20

Explanation:

P=2x+2y

P=2(460')+2(320')

P=920'+640'

P=1560'

Cost is $0.12 per foot we have 1560 feet

1560 X 0.12 = $187.20
