Answer: $412.50

Explanation:

The area of the square formed by combining the painting and the molding is
(25)(28)=700 square inches.

The area of the painting itself is
(22)(25)=550 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the molding is
700-550=150 square inches, and thus costs
(150)(2.75)=\$412.50
