Answer: Total molding cost is $197.20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of oil painting frame = 22 inch
Width of oil painting frame = 30 inch
Width for molding = 4 inches
So, Length after molding would be
4+22+4 = 30 inches
Width after molding would be
4+30+4 = 38 inches
So, Perimeter of molding would be
[tex]2(L+B)\\\\=2(30+38)\\\\=2\times 68\\\\=136\ inches[/tex]
Cost per inch = $1.45
So, Total molding cost would be
[tex]1.45\times 136\\\\=\$197.20[/tex]
Hence, Total molding cost is $197.20.
