Step-by-step explanation

2' 3" = 27"

3' 5" = 41"

Multiply the length by the width (in inches) of the painting.

27 * 41 = 1107

We now know that the area of the painting is 1107
`in.^(2)` Next, multiply the cost per square inch (0.35) by the total amount of square inches (1107).

.35 * 1107 = 387.45
