A gardener uses this formula to work out how much he charges to make a lawn. C = 7(14 +A)/ 3. C is the charge in £. A is the area in m2. He makes a rectangular lawn measuring 12.5 m by 17.6 m. How much does he charge?

Area of lawn = 12.5 x 17.6 = 220 m2 Substituting into the formula given the cost if found, C = 7(14 + 220)/3 = £546
