Please help!!!
The area of a rectangular region is 6.2 × 10^3 square feet. The length

of the rectangular region is 1.55 × 10^2 feet. How much does it cost to

surround the region with a border that costs $0.80 per foot?

Answer:

312

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to determine the width

A = l*w

6.2 * 10 ^3 = 1.55 * 10 ^2 * w

Divide each side by 1.55 * 10 ^2

6.2 ^ 10 ^3  /1.55 * 10 ^2 = 1.55 * 10 ^2 * w / 1.55 * 10 ^2

Changing from scientific notation to standard

6200/155 = w

40 = w

Then we need to determine the perimeter

P = 2(l+w)

P = 2( 155+40)

P =2( 195)

P = 390

Now multiply by the price

390 *.80
