Answer:$945

Explanation:

750/500=1.5

1.5•700=1050

100%-10%=90%

90%=0.90

0.90•1050=945

You can represent the new cost as an algebraic expression using the number of square feet.

First, write and expression showing this.

0.1 x c x 700, where c is the cost per square foot.

630c would be the final expression after it is simplified.
