Calculate Perimeter: Calculate the perimeter of the photograph to determine the total length of the frame needed.The perimeter of a rectangle is given by the formula P=2(l+w), where l is the length and w is the width.For the photograph, l=8 inches and w=4 inches.P=2(8+4)=2(12)=24 inches.
Calculate Cost: Calculate the cost of the frame by multiplying the perimeter of the photograph by the cost per inch.The cost per inch for the silver frame is $4.99.Total cost = Perimeter × Cost per inchTotal cost = 24 inches ×$4.99/inchTotal cost = $119.76
