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 m^2. He makes a rectangular lawn measuring 12.5 m by 17.6 m. How much does he charge? [3 marks]

Rectangular Lawn of 12.5 x 17.6m. (Draw Rectangle) Area=LengthHeight A=12.517.6 A=220m^2

Substitute into formula: C=(7(14+A))/3 C=(7(14+220))/3 C=(7(234))/3 C=(1638)/3 C=546

The gardener will charge £546.
