Final answer:

Osman can calculate the cost to replace the unusually shaped picture window by determining its area and then using the formula C = (Area of the window × $8) + $35 to find the total cost. The final total should be rounded to the nearest cent. However, without the window's dimensions, an exact cost cannot be calculated.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the cost to replace the unusually shaped picture window in Osman's parents' living room, we must first determine the area of the window to find out how many square feet of glass are needed. Once we have the area, we can multiply by the cost per square foot and add the installation fee. Unfortunately, the question does not provide the necessary dimensions of the window, so we cannot proceed with the exact calculations. However, I will provide a general formula that Osman could use to calculate the replacement cost.

Let's assume that the dimensions of the window are provided and that we have managed to calculate the area, A, in square feet. The cost of the replacement glass will then be A × $8. After calculating this, Osman would need to add the installation fee, which is $35. So the total cost to replace the window, C, would be calculated using the formula:

C = (A × $8) + $35

Once Osman replaces the window, if the total calculated cost is not a whole number, he should round it to the nearest cent.

If u multiply 8•35 it will be 280. And with that answer the decimal at the end move it back once and it will be 28 cents
