A rectangular garden is 20 yards long and 10 yards wide. If it costs 80 cents per square yard to seed the lawn and $7.00 per running yard to put up a hedge around the garden, what is the total cost in dollars of seeding the garden and putting up a hedge around it?
.
"cost to seed" + "cost to hedge"
.80(20*10) + 7(2(20+10))
.80(200) + 7(2(30))
.80(200) + 7(60)
160 + 420
$580
