Mr. Ishimoto needs to replace the grass in the section of his lawn that is shown below.
A grass section can be broken into 2 rectangles. 1 rectangle has a base of 7 feet and height of 3 feet. The other rectangle has a base of 2 feet and height of 7 feet.

If the new grass costs $0.40 per square foot, how much will the grass cost Mr. Ishimoto?

It is provided that Mr. Ishimoto needs to replace the grass in the section of his lawn.

The grass section can be broken into 2 rectangles.

First rectangle: Base = 7 feet and Height = 3 feet.

Second rectangle: Base = 2 feet and Height = 7 feet.

Compute the area of both the rectangles as follows:

Now the cost of the new grass is $0.40 per square foot.

Compute the cost of replacing the grass in the first rectangular section as follows:

Compute the cost of replacing the grass in the second rectangular section as follows:

The total cost of replacing the grass is:
