Q. A movie poster is 2 feet2\,\text{feet} wide and 4 feet4\,\text{feet} tall. A frame shop charges $1.60\$1.60 per foot for a black metal frame. How much would it cost to buy a black metal frame for the movie poster?\newline$\$_____
  1. Calculate Perimeter: Calculate the perimeter of the movie poster.\newlineSince the poster is 22 feet wide and 44 feet tall, and a rectangle has two lengths and two widths, the perimeter (PP) can be calculated as follows:\newlineP=2(width)+2(height)P = 2(\text{width}) + 2(\text{height})\newlineP=2(2 feet)+2(4 feet)P = 2(2 \text{ feet}) + 2(4 \text{ feet})\newlineP=4 feet+8 feetP = 4 \text{ feet} + 8 \text{ feet}\newlineP=12 feetP = 12 \text{ feet}
  2. Calculate Frame Cost: Calculate the cost of the frame.\newlineThe frame shop charges $1.60\$1.60 per foot. Since we have the perimeter of the poster, we can calculate the total cost (CC) by multiplying the perimeter by the cost per foot:\newlineC=P×cost per footC = P \times \text{cost per foot}\newlineC=12 feet×$1.60 per footC = 12 \text{ feet} \times \$1.60 \text{ per foot}\newlineC=$19.20C = \$19.20
