Answer: $412.50
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of the square formed by combining the painting and the molding is [tex](25)(28)=700[/tex] square inches.
The area of the painting itself is [tex](22)(25)=550[/tex] square inches.
Therefore, the area of the molding is [tex]700-550=150[/tex] square inches, and thus costs [tex](150)(2.75)=\$412.50[/tex]
