Sayid is buying a frame to go around the perimeter of a painting his daughter made. Each inch of framing costs ​$0.40. What is the total cost of the framing for the​ painting? . What is the first step you need to​ do? What is the answer to the first​ step? Write an equation to show your work. Choose the correct first step below.

Answer 1

The total cost of the framing for the painting is $0.40·P

Explanation:

The first step to be done is to measure the length of the perimeter of the painting

Whereby the perimeter of the painting is p inches long, then the total cost of the framing will be found to be as follows

Total cost of framing = Cost per inch of framing × Perimeter of painting

∴ Total cost of framing = $0.40 × p

The total cost of the framing for the painting = $0.40·P.
